§ 2201. Writing of closed will

A closed will may be written by the testator or by any other person, at his request, on common paper, giving the place, day, month and year of its execution.

If the testator writes it in person, he shall rubricate all the sheets and affix his signature at the end, after mentioning all the words corrected, erased, or interlined.

Should another person write it, at his request, the testator shall put his full signature on all the sheets and at the foot of the will.

If the testator does not know how or cannot sign, another person shall do so for him and rubricate every sheet, at his request, stating the cause of the testator’s inability.
