§ 29-1-21-1 — Purpose of chapter; presumptions

Indiana § 29-1-21-1

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 1: PROBATE CODE
• Ch. 21: Electronic Wills

Text

The purpose of this chapter is to provide rules
for the valid execution, attestation, self-proving, and probate of wills
that are prepared and signed electronically. This chapter shall be
applied fairly and flexibly so that a testator whose identity can be
verified, who has testamentary capacity, and who is acting free from
duress and undue influence may execute a valid electronic will
consistent with the testator's intent. If an electronic will is properly and
electronically signed by the testator and by the witnesses and is
maintained as an electronic record or as a complete converted copy in
compliance with this chapter, all the normal presumptions that apply
to a traditional paper will that is validly signed and executed apply to
an electronic will.
