The most common issue with a DIY Will is when it comes to witnessing the document . For a Will to be valid it must be signed by the person making the Will ( the testator ) and two independent adults . Neither of these witnesses can be beneficiaries under the Will or the spouses or civil partners of any of the beneficiaries . If the Will is not signed correctly it will be invalid , meaning your estate will pass in accordance with the laws of intestacy and most likely end up with your estate not being distributed as you would have liked . With this being the case , it is advised that you use a professional Will Writer to not only draft the document for you , but to also ensure it is signed and witnessed correctly avoiding any difficulties upon death .
