Does my will need to be written in English?


Updated by MYLEGACY

No, there is no legal requirement for your will to be written in English. However, there are practical considerations to keep in mind if a will is written in another language.

Your will needs to be clearly understood by your executors, beneficiaries, and the courts. Using English may make this process smoother, as all documents filed or used in the Court must be in the English language. If your will is written in another language, translation will be required.
