Is a will always valid?

1. Depends on the witness count

2. Yes, unless it is challenged

3. No, unless probated

4. Varies by state law

The correct answer is: Yes, unless it is challenged

Yes, the correct answer is B. A will is considered valid unless it is challenged in court. In general, a will is presumed to be valid if it meets the legal requirements for creation, such as being in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed according to the state's laws. However, if someone has legal grounds to contest the validity of the will, such as undue influence or lack of capacity of the testator, they can challenge it in court. Until a will is successfully challenged and invalidated by a court, it is considered valid and will be followed according to the testator's wishes.
