Is A Handwritten, Handcrafted Will Valid?

In estate planning, the validity of handwritten wills, or "holographic wills," is often debated. While they can be legally binding, requirements vary by jurisdiction. Generally, the entire document must be handwritten and signed by the testator. Some areas require witnesses, and clarity of language is crucial. Consulting an estate planning attorney ensures legal validity and clarity in documenting final wishes.
