How to Execute and Witness a Will in Victoria

In Victoria, Wills and Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) must be signed in person and witnessed by two witnesses. Witnessing can be done via audio-visual link, i.e. Zoom, as long as it fulfils the Victorian legal requirements.

If you are providing the will for a client out of your firm's state, it is best to either post (via 'Order a Hard Copy' function) or fax the Will once finalised to the client and organise a signing event with the relevant parties.
