How signing works in Wisconsin

Signing your will

  1. Gather two adult witnesses. They should not be people named in your will.
  2. Sign your will while both witnesses watch.
  3. Each witness signs while you watch.
  4. If you want, you can add one more form. It is called a self-proving affidavit. You and your witnesses sign it before a notary. It helps the court accept your will later.
  5. Keep the original somewhere safe.

Wisconsin does not allow electronic wills. You print your will and sign it in ink.

Remote online notarization where Wisconsin allows it, never for wills.

How to sign your healthcare directive
  1. Gather two adult witnesses. Your witnesses cannot be related to you or be your health care agent. They also cannot inherit from you or pay for your health care.

  3. Each witness signs while you watch.
  4. Keep the original somewhere safe. Share a copy with your doctor.
