HB 1153 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Wills and estates; authorize video recorded with certain conditions.

HB 1153 allows video-recorded wills and requires oral wills (nuncupative wills) to be video recorded under specific conditions. It mandates that video recordings must show the testator's full face continuously, include their name/sound mind declaration/date/location, and feature a witness confirming no financial interest. The bill repeals a prior requirement that oral wills be written down later. This law affects Mississippi residents creating wills, effective July 1, 2025.
