A valid will in the UK must be in writing, signed by the testator (person making the will) or by someone else in their presence and by their direction. It must be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses, who also sign the will. The testator must be of sound mind, understand the nature of the document, and not be under undue influence. Meeting these criteria ensures the will is legally binding and enforceable after death.
