What Is a Last Will and Testament?

Alaska defines a will as “includes a codicil and a testamentary instrument that merely appoints an executor, revokes or revises another will, nominates a guardian, or expressly excludes or limits the right of an individual or class to succeed to property of the decedent passing by intestate succession.” (§ 13.06.050)

Requirements

To execute a valid will, individuals must:

  • Be mentally sound and at least eighteen (18) years of age. (§ 13.12.501)
  • The will must be in writing. (§ 13.12.502(a))
  • The testator must sign the will or direct someone else to sign on their behalf in their presence. (§ 13.12.502(a)(1))
  • The will must be signed by at least two individuals who witness the testator’s signature or acknowledgment of the will. (§ 13.12.502(a)(2))

Filing

The state of Alaska does not require residents to file wills. However, some probate courts allow individuals to deposit wills for safekeeping for a small fee.
