China's law does not force notarization of wills. A notarized will shall be handled by the testator through a notary office. A self written will shall be written by the testator in his own hand, signed and marked with the following year, month and day. A will written on behalf of the testator shall be witnessed by two or more witnesses, one of whom shall write on behalf of the testator, noting the next year, month and day, and shall be signed by the proxy, other witnesses and the testator.
Article 42 of the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Inheritance Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the testator has made several wills in different forms that contradict each other, and if there is a notarial will, the last notarial will shall prevail; In the absence of a notarial will, the last one made shall prevail.
