To be legally valid in Queensland, a will must meet a few key requirements:

• It must be in writing.
• The will-maker (testator) must be over 18 and of sound mind.
• It must be signed by the will-maker in the presence of two witnesses.
• Those witnesses must also sign the will, ideally in each other’s presence.
  While it is possible to write your own will, errors in drafting or execution can make it invalid or lead to disputes. Legal advice helps ensure your intentions are clearly and properly documented.
