YES> Witnesses must be credible and over the age of 14.
You can avoid this requirement if you write the will out by hand, all in your own writing.
Must be your own handwriting to be considered a 'holographic will'. If you write out YOUR ENTIRE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT IN YOUR OWN HAND (NO EXCEPTIONS), you do not need witnesses
California law also allows 'holographic wills to be created by a testator.
Worry not:
Write your will in your own handwriting and save your loved ones from the trauma of dealing with the state to settle your affairs should you die 'intestate' - without a last will.
Simple. Just do it!
