Probation of will is after the demise. While the will is being drafted it is safer to get a doctor to certify that the person making the will is of sound mind. The broad terms of the will can be dictated over the phone to a lawyer whose responsibility it is to draft the will in legal terms. After this the will needs to be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses (preferably non-beneficiaries). A good option is to get the will registered with the registrar's office after this. These steps ensure that there are no future disputes.
However even a will written on a scrap of paper with a few lines are legally acceptable as the final will. However in this case it becomes difficult to prove the authenticity in case of disputes. Legally there is no difference between a hand-written note and an attested will.
