The bill amends several articles of the Louisiana Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure, focusing on the requirements for olographic and notarial testaments. It simplifies the form requirements for olographic testaments by allowing the testator's signature to appear anywhere in the document, provided it identifies the testator and indicates their intent to adopt the document as their will. Additionally, the bill removes special requirements for notarial testaments for individuals who are unable to sign or read, as well as for those who are deaf or deaf and blind. It also repeals several articles that previously outlined specific requirements for these testaments, aiming to streamline the testamentary process in Louisiana.

Furthermore, the bill revises the execution requirements for notarial wills, eliminating the need for an "attestation clause" and the requirement for the testator to sign on every page. Instead, the signature can appear anywhere in the testament, and the date can be placed anywhere, with the possibility of clarification through extrinsic evidence. The bill introduces provisions for validating notarial wills that do not meet the revised requirements, allowing testimony from the notary and witnesses to support their validity. Overall, these changes reflect a modernized approach to will execution, prioritizing clarity and accessibility while reducing potential litigation surrounding will validity.
