I got my hands on SN + will question

[gasterblaster]

I used a local source since SN is not regulated where I live. Is it weird to say I'm sort of relieved, glad even? To have a decent method at hand?

Since I have been experiencing months of regular life and others of figurative hell, I haven't established a date, but I will be writing a note in the next few days. At least to get that out of the way.

I was wondering whether I should get a notarized will? I would like to leave the savings and items I have to a specific relative. Otherwise they would need to go to court to claim them. Anyway. A bit of a rambly first post ,,,

I would definitely make out a legal will if you're able. Saves a lot of trouble for the heirs you name.

I just learned that I need witnesses to make it legally valid. Talk about raising suspicion haha. I'll have to see what I can do

I didn't have my own witness. I'm US, btw. We were able to use another office person as a witness. For me it wasn't about raising suspicion, although I can understand how it might. I just don't have anyone, no family or friends. There are lots of people that have no one. That can't be a barrier to having a will drafted.

Depending on your age, it may not even raise any suspicions. Plenty of people do this, especially when they get older.

This, you dont need family etc to be a witness necessarily. Just someone who is also willing to sign saying they saw you sign, pretty much.

It makes sense that it doesn't have to be someone I know. I'm not in the US, but I will try doing this, thank you
