To make an Alaska last will and testament, you
need to be at least eighteen years of age and
be of sound mind and provided you meet these
minimum eligibility criteria you can then go
ahead and make your will according to clause
13.12.501.
Furthermore, according to 13.12.502 you need to
make your Alaska last will and testament in
writing and it should also be signed by the
testator as well as two other individuals who
must set their signature down soon after the
will has been signed by witnesses.
Simultaneous Execution, Attestation And
Self-Proofed
In addition, when creating your Alaska last
will and testament, you should be aware that it
can be executed and attested as well as
self-proved simultaneously after it has been
acknowledged by the testator as well as is
accompanied by affidavits from witnesses that
are made in the presence of authorized officers
that in turn are allowed to order oaths
according to the laws of the State of Alaska
and for which the Alaska last will and
testament is officially sealed in the
appropriate form.
As far as who can witness the Alaska last will
and testament, the law states that anybody that
is competent to act as a witness can witness
the Alaska last will and testament and by
setting his signature down on such will, the
said will will be considered as being
witnessed, even if the witness is an interested
party.
Obviously, the Alaska last will and testament
must be executed to comply with the laws of the
State of Alaska and you also have a choice with
regard to the law pertaining to the execution
of the Alaska last will and testament that
among other conditions includes the need to
comply with the law in force in the place where
the will was executed, or it should comply with
the law of the state where the will needs to be
executed in case the person that made the will
died in another state.
The Alaska last will and testament can also be
revoked either wholly or in part provided
certain conditions are met or by executing a
new will that explicitly revokes the previous
will. Other important aspects that you need to
consider at the time of making the Alaska last
will and testament include incorporation by
reference, contracts with regard to succession
issues, separate instructions in writing
pertaining to other type of personal and
tangible property and understanding how to
deposit the will in a court during the lifetime
of the testator, and finally, specifying
penalty clause in case of
dispute.
