Will

Damien Matthew Bosco
Answered by attorney Damien Matthew Bosco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hi Joseph:  My name is Damien. I am an attorney located in New York City. If your father still has his mental capacity, he can still execute (sign) a Will. He would need to have two witnesses (and if you are a beneficiary, you cannot be a witness). Generally, it is best to have an attorney draft and supervise the Will signing even when the testator (your Father) has limited assets.  If you need assistance, a New York Trusts & Estates Attorney can help you. If you wish to speak on the phone about it, you can call Damien Bosco, P.C. at (646) 452-7082.
