Wyoming Will Signing Day Kit: Wyoming's Witness and Notary Rules, Signing-Day Checklist, Witness Sheet and Original-Will Record

Who it is for

Anyone signing a will in Wyoming, and the family member, friend or office helping set up the signing. Who can make a will, per the official page: 18 or older and of sound mind (Nolo, citing Wyo. Stat. 2-6-101).

Not the right fit if

The person signing isn't in Wyoming, you still need the will written (that's a lawyer's job), or someone may contest it. Not a will form or a legal service.

Why it is different

• Built only from our Wyoming will signing data file, checked November 2026 against Wyoming 2023 Senate File 99 (enrolled act amending W.S. 2-6-112 and 2-6-114), Wyoming Legislature; Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in Wyoming (Nolo, updated September 2025).
• All 7 Wyoming facts are confirmed: on an official page, or where none could be read, on a vetted secondary source marked as such.
• Sources: https://www.wyoleg.gov/2023/Enroll/SF0099.pdf https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/wyoming-make-will-32116.html
• For the estate side in Wyoming, the Wyoming Executor and Estate Kit: The estate in the state, less liens and encumbrances, up to $400,000 (raised from $200,000 by Enrolled Act 85, effective July 1, 2025). The affidavit covers personal property; real property goes through summary distribution in district court.

What is inside

• Start here. The 7 confirmed Wyoming facts at a glance.
• Wyoming signing-day checklist. Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two competent witnesses. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. If a beneficiary would have to witness, stop and call the lawyer first: Interested witnesses may lose any gift the will makes to them (Nolo, citing Wyo. Stat. 2-6-112). Have a notary or another officer who can administer oaths there for the self-proving affidavit. The statute names that officer rather than notaries by name. Allowed, before an officer authorized to administer oaths. Since July 1, 2023 witnesses may sign the self-proving form electronically by secure means. If no notary is available on the day, the affidavit can be added later, while the witnesses can still be reached. The rule here: Interested witnesses may lose any gift the will makes to them (Nolo, citing Wyo. Stat. 2-6-112).
• Witness information sheet. One block per Wyoming witness (2 required, plus a spare).
• Original-will storage and location record. Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Wyoming: Recognized without witnesses if entirely in the testator's handwriting and signed (Nolo, citing Wyo. Stat. 2-6-113).
• Wyoming will signing tracker (Excel). Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Remote witnessing in Wyoming: Since July 1, 2023, witnesses may appear by audio-video if they can see and hear the testator in real time and can securely sign electronically. Electronic wills: Not authorized, per Nolo's Wyoming page (updated September 2025).
