A will is only valid if it is written and executed in a certain way. The testator, or the person making the will, must sign it at the end or foot of the document in the presence of two or more witnesses, who must also sign it.

The signature can be in various positions as long as it is clear that the testator intended to give effect to the will by signing it.

Some circumstances that may seem to invalidate a will, such as the signature not following the end of the will or being placed among other clauses, do not actually affect the validity of the will as long as it meets the other requirements.

However, any changes made after the signature will not be considered valid.
