Do I have to physically sign my Will or can I use a digital signature service like Docusign?

Digital signatures and services like Docusign are becoming increasingly popular and can be used for many things like sales agreements, and contracts. However, the laws related to creating a legal Last Will and Testament do not allow for digital signatures or remote signing procedures.

 

Estate planning laws require you to be in the same room as your two witnesses and require that you all sign in each other's presence. Your Will must be a paper document with an original signature, signed in ink.
