Ella Whiteside is 91 years old and by all accounts from friends, neighbors, and her physicians is alert, aware, and active. Ella has decided to finally get a will. However, her arthritis keeps her from writing and from even signing her name. What advice can you give Ella for executing a valid will?
?If Ella cannot sign her name, her best options is to place an "X" where her signature would go, or she could have someone sign her name at her direction if she had witnesses there who would attest to the process. Ella probably should have a formal will with an acknowledgement because of her age and the need for verification of her signature. Those witnesses, although not required, should also probably be disinterested witnesses. That is, they should not be beneficiaries under the will so that questions do not arise. Further, the witnesses should be able to attest to Ella's sound mind and capabilities at the time she makes her will. It would be helpful if those witnesses are likely to survive Ella so that they can attest for the will and signature.
