Every will must be in writing, and every will, other than a holographic will, must be executed and attested as follows:
1. 
It must be signed at the end by the testator or by some person in the testator's presence and by his direction;
2. 
The testator must, at the time of subscribing or acknowledging the same, declare to the attesting witnesses that the instrument is his will;
3. 
There must be two (2) attesting witnesses; both of whom must sign his name as a witness at the end of the will, at the testator's request and in his presence; and, of whom one (1) must be a Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal member; and, one (1) must be a registered notary.

Every person over the age of eighteen (18) years and of sound mind, may execute a will, and may thereby dispose of all or any part of his estate. All property disposed of by will is chargeable with the payment of testator's debts, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Code.
(11/22/2021)
A codicil is a supplement or an addition to a will. It may explain, modify, add to, subtract from, qualify, alter, restrain or revoke provisions in a will.
(11/22/2021)
A conjoint or mutual will is valid, but it may be revoked by any of the testators like any other will. The revocation of a will by one party invalidates the will in whole.
(11/22/2021)
The execution or revocation of any will in compliance with the laws of the place where executed, or of the testator's domicile shall be given legal effect if not Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Land.
(11/22/2021)
Whenever a will or a revocation thereof is duly executed in accordance with the law of the place in which the same was made, or of the domicile of the testator, the subsequent change of domicile of the testator shall have no effect on its validity.
(11/22/2021)
Except as expressly stated in this Code no written will, nor any part thereof, can be revoked or altered, otherwise than:
1. 
By a written will or other writing of the testator, declaring such revocation or alteration, and executed with the same formalities with which a will should be executed by such testator; or
2. 
By being burnt, torn, cancelled, obliterated, or destroyed, with the intent and for the purpose of revoking the same, by the testator himself, or by some person in his presence and by his direction, and with the same formalities with which a will should be executed by such testator.
(11/22/2021)
When a will is not revoked by a subsequent will, unless the latter contains an express revocation, or provisions wholly inconsistent with the terms of the former will, the prior will remains effectual so far as consistent with the provisions of the subsequent will.
(11/22/2021)
If, after making a will, the testator makes a second will, the destruction or other revocation of the second will does not revive the first will unless it appears by the terms of such revocation that it was the intention to revive and give effect to the first will, or unless, after such destruction or revocation, the first will is duly republished.
(11/22/2021)
If, after any will, such testator marries and the husband, wife, or issue survives the testator, such will shall be deemed revoked as to such survivors, unless provision shall have been made for such survivors, and the couple have obtained inheritance rights as defined in section 31.01.02. Such surviving husband, wife, or issue shall be entitled to the same rights in, and to the same share or portion of the estate of the testator as he or she would have been, if such will have had not been made, when the couple have been married for at least five (5) years.
(11/22/2021)
A charge or encumbrance upon any estate for the purpose of securing the payment of money or the performance of any covenantor agreement, is not a revocation of any will relating to the same estate, which was previously executed, but the devise and legacies therein contained must pass subject to such charge or encumbrance.
(11/22/2021)
An agreement for sale or partial conveyance of property disposed of by a will previously made by the testator does not revoke such disposal, but the property passes by the will, subject to the same remedies on the testator's agreement as might be had against the testator's successors, if the same had passed by succession.
(11/22/2021)
When any testator omits to provide for any of his children, unless it appears such omission was intentional, such child, if unprovided for by any settlement, succeeds to the same portion of the estate that he would have succeeded to if the testator had died intestate. Such share must first be taken from the estate not disposed of by will, if any. If that is not sufficient, so much as may be necessary must be taken from all the devisees or legatees, in proportion to the value they may respectively receive under the will, unless the obvious intention of the testator in relation to some specific provision of the will would thereby be defeated. In such a case, such provision may be exempted from such apportionment and a different apportionment, consistent with the intention of the testator, may be adopted. Such children who have had an equal proportion of the testator's estate bestowed on them in the testator's lifetime, by way of advancement, take nothing by virtue of this Section.
(11/22/2021)
A subscribing witness to a will may take nothing by such will unless there be two (2) other competent subscribing witnesses to the same. Any devise to a subscribing witness is void only so far as the witness or anyone claiming under him is concerned, and such person will be a competent witness so far as the remainder of the will is concerned. In cases where such witness would have been entitled to share in the estate of the testator had there been no will, he succeeds to so much of the share as would be distributed to him, not to exceed what he would have taken by the will.
