Verify the will is valid

While it's not your job to validate the will, we recommend that you do so to make sure that the will you are referencing is the correct one. If you are able to contact the who helped create the will, you can ask them to check its validity and verify you have the most recent version. A valid will must be:

In writing, either typed or handwritten
Signed and dated by Courtney
Signed when Courtney was over 18
Signed and dated by two valid witnesses (with the exception of a )
