Does a handwritten will work in court?

Yes, this is what's called a holographic will and also a holographic will is a Last Will that the individual does in their very own handwriting and then signs it as well as dates it at the page bottom or dates it at the page top and executes at the bottom, whichever they do. A handwritten will can not be transcribed out by somebody else and also then executed by the decedent or your loved one. It's really vital to know that a hand written last will and testament is actually an extremely powerful legal document as long as it is carried out appropriately in the individual's very own handwriting, dated as well as executed.
