A California Last Will and Testament is a legal document governed by Section 6 of California Legislation that allows a person, referred to as a Testator, to dictate exactly how they would like their affairs handled after they pass away. According to California law, all Testators must be over 18 years of age and be of sound mind in order to create a document like this. These statutes also dictate that will must be signed by two witnesses at the same time who both either witness the Testator creating the document, or who both have an understanding of the Testators' will. The state of California does not recognize oral wills, however, handwritten wills are accepted by the state if the will is entirely written and signed by the testator.
