[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a will in Pennsylvania, and the family member, friend or office helping set up the signing. Who can make a will, per the official page: 18 or older, of sound mind. Not the right fit if The person signing isn't in Pennsylvania, you still need the will written (that's a lawyer's job), or someone may contest it. Not a will form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our Pennsylvania will signing data file, checked November 2026 against 20 Pa.C.S. Chapter 25, Wills (Pennsylvania General Assembly); Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in Pennsylvania (Nolo, updated August 2025); Nolo (secondary source): Holographic (Handwritten) Wills (Nolo, updated February 2024). - 2 facts aren't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves them out and lists them once to look up, instead of guessing. - Also from the file: The witness rule in Chapter 25 applies only to a signature by mark or by another person. Ask the lawyer preparing the will whether to use witnesses and a self-proving affidavit anyway. What is inside - **Start here.** The 5 confirmed Pennsylvania facts at a glance; to look up on the official page: a witness who inherits, remote witnessing. - **Pennsylvania signing-day checklist.** The statute we read requires no witnesses when the testator signs. None required for a will the testator signs at the end. Two witnesses are needed only when the testator signs by mark or has someone else sign. Ask the lawyer preparing the will whether to bring two witnesses anyway, for example to sign a self-proving affidavit. Have a notary there for the self-proving affidavit. The official page we read names a notary public. Allowed. Per Nolo (citing 20 Pa.C.S. 3132.1), the testator and two witnesses sign affidavits before a notary, attached to the will. The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. This checklist is for a typed will signed with witnesses. A handwritten will follows different rules: Recognized. - **Witness information sheet.** One block per Pennsylvania witness. - **Original-will storage and location record.** Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Pennsylvania: Recognized. Nolo's handwritten wills page (updated February 2024) lists Pennsylvania among the states where a handwritten will is valid without witnesses; the will still has to be signed at the end. - **Pennsylvania will signing tracker (Excel).** Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Electronic wills: Not authorized, per Nolo's Pennsylvania page (updated August 2025).
