The age of the individual must not be less then 18 years to understand the meaning of a will (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). Therefore, to make a will valid, the individual must be at least more than the age of 18 years. This is because if the individual is 18 years of age, the will would become invalid (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). There must be written evidence of a will to be valid (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). Even if an individual types a will, it can be valid. However, a will must be handwritten if not typed. There must be the presence of the sign of the testator in all the pages of a particular will (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). Finally there must be at least two competent witnesses whose signature must be present in the will (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016).
