Which of the following is a requirement of a duly executed will?

• A. Signed by testator
• B. The will must be stored in a public archive
• C. The end of the will is where the signature must be
• D. Publish, tell attesting witnesses 'this is my will'

Answer: (A)

Signing by the testator is the essential act that completes execution of a will. That signature shows the testator’s consent and intent to have the document govern the distribution of their property. Without it, the writing remains a draft and cannot be probated. The other options describe actions that aren’t required for execution: there’s no obligation to store the will in a public archive, the exact placement of the signature isn’t universally mandated (though many wills are signed at the end), and simply “telling” people about the will isn’t part of the execution requirement.
