Does a handwritten will stand up in court?

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