The "Uniform Electronic Wills Act"; authorizes electronic wills.

New Jersey's A5772, the "Uniform Electronic Wills Act," authorizes individuals to create legally valid wills using digital tools. The bill requires electronic wills to be readable text at signing, signed by the person making the will (or someone acting under their direction), and witnessed by two people physically present with them - remote witnessing is not permitted. It also establishes procedures for notarization, self-proving affidavits, and creating certified paper copies, while ensuring electronic wills are treated equally to paper wills under state law. The law applies immediately to wills of people who die after its effective date.
