What Is a Last Will and Testament?

Maryland defines a will as “means a record that the testator intends to adopt as the testator’s codicil or testamentary instrument.” (§ 4-101)

Requirements

To execute a valid will, individuals must:

  • Two witnesses must sign the will in the presence of the testator. (§ 4-102)
  • The will must be in writing. (§ 4-102)

Filing

Maryland does not mandate the filing of wills prior to death. Residents may deposit their wills with the probate court for secure storage if desired.
