What are the legal requirements of a will?

  1. Notarization and fingerprints

  2. Only two witnesses needed

  3. Proper wording and signing

  4. Sound mind, proper age, no influence, witnesses

The correct answer is: Sound mind, proper age, no influence, witnesses

The legal requirements of a will include the individual being of sound mind, meaning they understand the implications of creating a will; being of the proper age, typically at least 18 years old; creating the will without being under any undue influence or duress; and having witnesses present during the signing of the will to attest to its validity. These witnesses are crucial in validating the will and ensuring its authenticity. Therefore, option D is the correct choice as it encapsulates all these essential legal requirements for a will.
