valid;
U Srbiji se za ovo kaže ili "punovažan", ili "pravno valjan", ovo je očigledno dokument možda iz Bosne, ili tako nešto. U svakom slučaju na engleskom "valid" ili "legally binding", ali preporučujem samo "valid".
"Holographic" or handwritten wills generally require no witnesses to be valid.
One or more beneficiaries (devisees, legatees) must generally be clearly stated in the text, but some jurisdictions allow a valid will that merely revokes a previous will, revokes a disposition in a previous will, or names an executor.

Напомена: погрешили сте језички пар, обратите пажњу следећи пут - требало би да је превод са српског на енглески, а не обрнуто.

: Not in UK for sure; a will can be "lawful" (not beaking any law) but still not be valid - if for no other reasons because someone (rightly or wrongly) is contesting it. The usage is to say that a will is "valid" or not. A "lawful will" sounds strange.

„Nevada State Probate Laws
…
Probate Process
…
Dying With a Will
Nevada law also allows citizens to distribute property in accordance to their wishes as expressed in a lawful will and testament, usually referred to as a will. To be valid, all wills in Nevada must comply with the state's requirements. Generally, the law requires that a will be written and signed by the testator (the person making the will) and witnessed and signed by two competent people.“

Uzgred, u srpskom postoji razlika između „pravovaljani“ (ili „pravno valjani“) i „pravosnažni“ (ili „punovažni“), pa to nikako ne bi trebali mešati.

: the problem with this and similar dictionaries is that there's no sample sentences showing exactly which variant is used in which context; a "lawful will" sounds as odd in English as "zakoniti testament" in Serbian.

naravno, konkretan izbor termina zavisi od konteksta – ja sam citirala (prepisala) rečnik samo kao "Reference comment", a kao što vidite (Note) "lawful will" nikako nije strano američkom zakonodavstvu i NAmE, pa mislim da ne treba biti tako isključiv
