Grandpa died and made a will, and the property was inherited by his granddaughter. However, the will was not notarized, and only Grandpa himself and another person signed and thumbprinted it.
Hello, according to your description, you want to ask the question of the validity of the will, right?

First of all, according to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, notarized wills no longer have priority, so whether the will is notarized or not does not affect the validity of the will.

Secondly, what kind of will did Grandpa make? If you write your own will, you only need grandpa to write it himself, indicating the year, month and day, without witnesses. If it is other types, such as writing wills, printing wills, etc. Two witnesses are needed. One witness is not enough. If grandpa's will is not written by himself and only one witness is present, it may be invalid because it does not meet the statutory formal requirements. Of course, if grandpa's other heirs have no objection to the arrangement of the will, the granddaughter can generally inherit the property according to the will.

In addition, besides the formal requirements, the content of the will also requires that the content is true and legal, which is the true meaning of the testator, and there is no reason for the will to be invalid.

The validity of a will needs to be determined case by case according to the actual situation. If there is a dispute between heirs, it may also involve inheritance litigation. It is suggested that you can entrust or consult a professional lawyer to make a judgment. If necessary, further consultation is welcome.
