Does a handwritten will hold up in court?

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