Does a handwritten will hold up in court?

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

Can a handwritten last will and testament stand up in court?

The answer is absolutely, as long as it's done properly, as long as there is no undue pressure, and as long as there is no fraud. As always, talk to your territory and an estate planning attorney near you to make certain that holographic or handwritten will is done appropriately. More information.
