A will in Mississippi does not need to be notarized. However, creating a self-proving will can help streamline the probate process. To make a will self-proving, the testator and witnesses must sign an affidavit in front of a notary public. The notary public then notarizes the affidavit, which is attached to the will.

In Mississippi, a will must be signed by at least two competent witnesses. The witnesses must be at least 18 years old. Although there is no legal restriction against a beneficiary being a witness, it is generally recommended to have witnesses who are not beneficiaries to avoid potential conflicts of interest or challenges to the will's validity.

The probate process in Mississippi generally takes about six months to a year to complete. This time frame can vary depending on the complexity of the estate, the court's workload, and whether there are any disputes among beneficiaries or creditors.
