Does a handwritten will work 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 then signs it and also dates it at the bottom or dates it at the top and also signs at the bottom, whichever they do. A handwritten will can not be transcribed out by someone else as well as after that signed by the decedent or your loved one. It's truly important to understand that a handwritten last will and testament is really an extremely effective legal document as long as it is implemented correctly in the individual's very own handwriting, dated and also signed.
