Pennsylvania Living Will Laws
Pennsylvania Will OK in Ohio? (Also witness questions)?
I’d like to write a will, and am currently living in Ohio. I understand that self-proving affidavits for a will (where you and a notary sign the will) are not allowed in Ohio. However, they are allowed a short distance across the border in Pennsylvania (where my benefactors of the will live). Let’s say I write my will and get it notarized in Pennsylvania. If I croak in Ohio, will the Pennsylvania will legally stand?
As an aside to this, if I go to a law firm to get a will in Ohio, can the people at the law firm act as witnesses to the will? I don’t have that many close friends who I can just say “hey, sign my will will ya?” to, and I understand that relatives cannot sign a will.
Thanks in advance!
You should complete the will in your state of residence. Doing it outside the state may complicate probate when the time comes to execute it (not to mention make a possible mess of state taxes)
Employees at the law firm can act as witnesses, provided their internal policies allow it.
