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.

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!

No. In Kentucky all that's required is that the will be signed in front of two witnesses who must also sign the will. When the will is filed for probate the court will need to contact the witnesses for verification. It is much more efficient to have the will signed before a notary with a self-proving affidavit. The testator and the witnesses sign the affidavit and the will before the notary. At the time of death of the testator, the court will approve a will with a self proving affidavit with no further action necessary.
