Current to 2025-06-11 · Official PDF

(1) A testator may sign a will, other than a will made under
section 16, by having another individual sign on the testator's
behalf, at the testator's direction and in the testator's presence.

(2) A will is not invalid because the testator's signature is not
placed at the end of the will if it appears that the testator intended
by the signature to give effect to the will.
(3) A testator is presumed not to have intended to give effect to
any writing that appears below the testator's signature.
(4) A testator's signature does not give effect to any disposition or
direction added to the will after the will is made.
