Question

James WIlson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The will Anthony drafted meets all the requirements for a valid will. It was reviewed and signed by Mark in the presence of witnesses (Anthony's administrative assistants, Stacy and Jason), which satisfies the typical formalities for a valid will, including being in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed. There is no requirement for a doctor's evaluation to determine sound mind in the process of drafting a will, as long as the testator understands the nature of the will and its effects, the extent of the property which he is disposing of, and the claims to which he ought to give effect. The question does not indicate any issues with the writing, signature, or witnessing requirements.
