Can I make a will orally?

A will can be made orally. In case of emergency, an oral will is valid and should be witnessed by more than two witnesses. Generally, a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct, legal heir or legatee cannot be a witness. After the situation is eliminated, you need to make a will in writing. If there are several wills, the last will shall prevail.

A self-made will is written and signed by the testator, indicating the year, month and day. A will that entrusts others to write on behalf of others shall be witnessed by two or more witnesses, and one of them shall write on behalf of others, which shall be signed by the testator, agent and other witnesses, and marked with the year, month and day. Printing a will should be witnessed by more than two witnesses. The testator and the witness shall sign on each page of the will and indicate the year, month and day.

A will made in the form of audio and video recording shall be witnessed by two or more witnesses. The testator and the witness shall record their names or portraits, as well as the year, month and day by audio and video recording. A notarized will shall be handled by the testator through a notarization institution.
