My Will in State of Michigan
My only assets are Vanguard stock/IRAs, CDs
with Symphony Bank and bank accounts with
Comerica Bank as well as my personal
belongings. I have drafted a Will and have had
it notarized and signed by two witnesses to
leave everything I own to my two adult children.
My children are listed as my beneficiaries for all
of the above assets I listed. Is that sufficient or
do I need to do more regarding my Will?

If the will was signed by you in the presence of two witnesses, who then each signed in each other's presence while ackowledging (in writing, on the signature page) that they know who you are and witnessed you signing the will, then the will should be valid and enforceable.
