Does a handwritten will hold up in court?

Yes, this is what's called a holographic will and also a holographic will is a will that the person does in their very own handwriting as well as after that executes it and also dates it at the page bottom or dates it at the page top and also executes at the bottom, whichever they do. A handwritten will can not be handwritten out by somebody else and after that signed by the decedent or your loved one. It's actually important to recognize that a hand written last will and testament is in fact a very effective document as long as it is executed correctly in the person's very own handwriting, dated and also executed.
