Electronically executed will is an electronic will, when

In plain English

If someone makes a will using electronic means but does not follow Missouri's specific rules, the will can still count as legal in Missouri. This works if the will was made following the rules of the state or place where the person was living, staying, or considered their home — either when they signed the will or when they died.
