Does a handwritten will stand 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 own handwriting and after that executes it as well as 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 somebody else and also then signed by the decedent or your loved one. It's actually important to understand that a handwritten last will and testament is in fact a very effective legal document as long as it is implemented properly in the person's very own handwriting, dated as well as signed.
