I do believe that it would need to be signed, etc. I can't remember
exactly what the lawyer(s) told me, but they said that I could just make
a list and attach it to the will, both my copy and the lawyer's copy.
I can't remember if he signed it and it was witnessed or not. I suppose
it's time to update it again to protect my two new (old) DEC acquisitions.

P.S. Ok, Brits and others, what's IANAS ?

Hmm. What's to stop your evil twin from attaching an addendum listing
that all your underwear will go to him? It would seem to me that your
attaching an addendum would have to be done in the presence of a lawyer.
But, IANAS (for the Brits ;)
