In a self-made will, the testator needs to write the contents of the will document by hand to ensure its authenticity and validity. The signature of the testator is also one of the important signs of the validity of the will. If you use printing, copying or electronic signature, the legal effect of the will will be affected. First of all, printing and copying a will cannot prove the testator's own control and will over the content of the will, and there may be forgery and tampering, which will lead to the loss of legal effect of the will. Secondly, electronic signature can not replace the role of the testator's own autograph in the will. Although electronic signature has legal effect, it needs to consider the authenticity and security of the will, so electronic signature is not considered as an effective signature method. Finally, it should be noted that the date of signature in the will is also one of the important signs of the validity of the will. If the signing time is not indicated, there may be uncertainty in the will, which will lead to the invalidity of the will.
If you find handwriting mistakes in your will, can you print them out and correct them? If the testator wants to correct the contents of the will by printing after discovering the handwriting error, he should pay attention to the following matters: 1. The correction must be written by the testator himself, and the date and signature of the correction should be indicated next to it. 2. The revised content should be clear, so as to avoid confusion and ambiguity to the original will. 3. The correction page should be pasted together with the original will page, and the witness's signature and seal information should be left to prove the authenticity and integrity of the will.
In order to ensure the authenticity and validity of the will, it is suggested that the testator write the will in person, not by printing, copying or electronic signature, and indicate the date of signature at the end of the will page, leaving witness signature and stamp information to ensure the legality of the will.
