Where is the signature placed on a duly executed will?

• A. End of the will
• B. Beginning of the will
• C. Somewhere in the middle
• D. On the back cover

Answer: (A)

Signing at the end of the will is what completes the document and shows the testator’s final approval of all the provisions. This placement marks the entire text as the testamentary instrument and, with the witnesses’ attestations, solidifies the will’s formal execution under typical rules. Signing at the end also helps prevent later additions from being treated as part of the will, since anything added after the signature would usually require re-execution. A signature at the beginning, in the middle, or on the back cover does not align with the standard practice of execution and can raise questions about whether the document was intended as the final, complete testament.
