Making a Will in Maryland

In Maryland, you can make a valid will if you are at least 18 years old and of sound mind to make a will. The will must be in writing and signed by you or by some other person for you at your direction and in your presence. Additionally, your will must be attested and signed by two or more credible witnesses in your presence.

A Maryland lawyer who does a lot of estate planning can explain the consequences of some of the most basic choices you must make. For that reason, it makes sense to consult with a Maryland estate planning lawyer and have him or her draft your will, so that you don't make costly mistakes or accidentally not accomplish what you intended.
