  • Witness signatures on a Will

    Hello, if the two witnesses of a Will (Solicitor and Secretary of the Solicitors that prepared the Will) signed their names and wrote their occupation but did not print their full names or full addresses, is this acceptable? Thanks in advance.

    Section.9 of the Wills Act 1837 deals with the formalities for making a Will (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga...7/26/section/9)

    It does not require the witness names to be printed, nor their addresses (but obviously those details could be useful if they need to be traced when the testator dies)
