Wyoming Last Will and Testament

A last will and testament lets you name an executor, a guardian for minor children, and the people who inherit your estate. In Wyoming, a will generally must be signed by the testator and two witnesses; notarization is not required for the will to be valid (Wyo. Stat. 2-6-112). Wyoming also recognizes self-proving affidavits (Wyo. Stat. 2-6-114), which let the will enter probate without tracking down the witnesses.

This template walks you through your executor, your beneficiaries, and any specific gifts, then produces a Wyoming will ready to print and sign following the requirements below, in Word and PDF.

How this template works in Wyoming

Answer guided questions about your executor, guardians for minor children, and beneficiaries, and the will writes itself in front of you. Then print it and sign it with your witnesses following the Wyoming requirements above; a will has no effect until it is properly signed.
