 TITLE: How Do Online Wills Work? CONTENT: What to Do After You Create an Online Will\n------------------------------------------\nIf you're wondering if your signed will needs to be notarized, the answer is not always. A properly prepared will can be legal and valid without it. However, some witnesses may choose to provide an additional document called a self-proving affidavit, which verifies that they indeed witnessed the signing of the will. This _does_ require a notary.\nBeyond that, you'll want to keep your will in a safe place. Some online will companies provide secure digital storage to do just that. If that's not an option and you decide to store your online will on a personal device, encrypting your files can provide an extra layer of security.\nNo matter where you store it, be sure that your loved ones and your executor know where to find it and have the means to access it.
