⚠️ Before generating:
Each Will must be signed by the respective testator in the presence of two adult witnesses who are NOT beneficiaries.
Both witnesses must sign in the testator's presence and in each other's presence at the same time.
In a Couples Will, each partner signs their own separate document — they cannot witness each other's Will if they are beneficiaries.
Keep originals safe and tell your executor where they are.
