- Q. How many people do I need to witness a will?
- A: The short answer is two. According to Michigan law, MCL 700.2502(c) "Signed by at least 2 individuals, each of whom signed within a reasonable time after he or she witnessed either the signing of the will ..... or the testator's acknowledgment of that signature or acknowledgment of the will.
I also recommend that each witness and the creator of the Will initial each page of the Will.
