A quick definition of attested will:

An attested will is a legal document that tells people what to do with someone's things after they die. It's a paper that the person signs, and someone else also signs to say they saw the person sign it. This makes it official and legal. There are different types of wills, like ones that are handwritten, ones that are spoken out loud, and ones that are made before someone gets married. It's important to have a will so that your things go to the people you want them to go to.

A more thorough explanation:

An attested will is a legal document that directs how a person's estate should be distributed after their death. It is signed by the person making the will and witnessed by at least one other person. The witnesses must also sign the will to confirm that they saw the person making the will sign it and that they believe the person was of sound mind and not under any undue influence.

For example, if John creates an attested will that leaves his house to his daughter and his savings to his son, he must sign the will in the presence of at least one witness who also signs the will. This confirms that John made the will and that he was of sound mind when he did so.

Attested wills are the most common type of will and are recognized in all states. They provide a clear and legally binding way for a person to distribute their assets after their death.
