Answer

Briefly: Every jurisdiction has its own requirements for executing a valid Will. If those requirements are not met the court will not allow the Will for probating. Generally, the testator must be of legal age and of sound mind. The will must be properly signed and witnessed (or in some states, must be in the testator's own handwriting). A Will can be challenged for reasons that include undue influence over the testator by some other individual.

There are other reasons a Will may be declared void depending on the laws in the jurisdiction. A Will written prior to marriage is invalid in most jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions a divorce automatically revokes any will made during the marriage. Other factors can modify a Will include additional children being born after the making of the Will, or someone electing to take part of the estate 'against the Will.'
