Georgia Wills

What determines a valid will under Georgia law? There are four requirements: the maker of the will must be over the age of 14. the will must be written, the will must be signed by the maker or on his behalf  and witnessed in writing by at least two credible persons over the age of 14 who are not beneficiaries, and the maker of the will has to have the capacity to do a will. Capacity means that the person has the ability to understand the process and is not being forced to make the will. This last requirement is frequently litigated.
