The first step is to locate the will.
== Step 2. Confirm the validity of the will ==
Once you’re confident you have the original and most recent version of the will, you’ll have to make sure it’s valid. A will might be invalid if:
* '''It was not properly signed or witnessed''': For example, a will must be signed at the end by the will-maker in front of two witnesses present at the same time.
