Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While some states may recognize a videotaped will as a valid form of a last will and testament, most require a written will signed by the testator (person making the will) and witnesses in order to be considered valid in probate court. Videotaped wills may also be subject to challenges and disputes over the authenticity and accuracy of the recording. It is generally recommended to create a written will to ensure that your wishes are properly documented and legally binding.
