Mistake on will date

My mother dated her will like this 16th January 20@18 the @ sign is where she scribbled over a nought she put in by mistake.

Should she rectify the mistake by putting a line through the year and re entering 2018 then initialling it if so does she then also need to date the initaling?

It's very obvious she has entered 2018 but I want to make sure everything is OK.

    Ask on the Deaths, Funeral & Probate forum. Presume this is a DiY will? 'Obvious' may count for nothing so you are right to try to get the definitive answer.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
