What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho

My question is about my grandfather completing a Will by his lawyers but dying before he signed the Will. Is the Will still valid?

Lord love a duck! Are you really that naive?

Could you take an unsigned check out of his checkbook, write your name as payee, fill in a stated amount for withdrawal and cash it?

What?

I appreciate the reply but definitely not the way you answered it. How disrespectful you are. I know that signing of the Will is very important, and from what I understand from his lawyer it was my grandfather’s intent to sign the Will. But he passed away before that could happen.
I read in a local paper about a marriage that was planned. And on the day of the wedding the husband was killed. Although they didn’t sign the marriage license, the judge in their case granted the woman the marriage and was entitled to all the benefits of the marriage.
Although my grandfather didn’t sign the Will but had the Will drawn up and had witnesses know his intent on signing it, wondered if it fell into the same category.
NOW, I know this is not a place where professionals are answering your questions.
