What happens if I do not sign my will correctly?

If a will is not signed correctly, for example if the witnesses were not present at the same time or were beneficiaries, it is likely to be invalid. An invalid will is treated as if no will exists, meaning your estate passes under the rules of intestacy. This is why PureWill includes detailed signing instructions in every PDF.
