If the will consists of several sheets, the testator should sign each sheet. If the testator is unable to sign, the individual signing on the testator's behalf should sign each sheet or, if there is no such individual, the authorized individual should sign each sheet. In addition, each sheet should be consecutively numbered.\n\nThe will's date is the date of its signature by the authorized individual. The authorized individual should note that date at the end of the will.\n\nThe authorized individual should ask the testator whether he or she wishes to make a declaration concerning the will's safekeeping. If so and at the testator's express request, the place where the testator intends to have the will kept should be mentioned in the certificate provided for in section 2955.\n\nA will executed in compliance with section 2953 is not invalid merely because it does not comply with this section.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 700","Act Act-386-of-1998"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-700-2954","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"7a6540a6fe5bb48dd8c8de7110e50d0f19f257fbe5f885002a4f238579d1a019","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.2953","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-700.2955"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
