:'''NOTE: Ability to electronically witness a will.''' Ministerial Order No. M161 was issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the order allows for temporary electronic witnessing of wills starting on March 18, 2020. Since then, ''Bill 21'' has been tabled, which will give full validity to electronically witnessed wills going forward. ''Bill 21'' is not yet fully in effect, so readers are advised to seek out the most recent updates. See Section III.E.2: Signatures of Witnesses for more information.
