Mississippi HB400 amends the Mississippi Code to authorize video recorded wills and nuncupative wills, requiring them to be video recorded and witnessed by a disinterested third party. The video must be continuous with no interruptions, and the subject must state their name, soundness of mind, and the date and location of the recording at the beginning and end. The disinterested third party must declare no financial or valuable interest in the subject. The video must clearly show the subject's entire face.
