Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Left Undone
My best friend of 30 years has
recently, unexpectedly passed. She
did have a will, had made major
revisions in her hand writing to that
will but had not yet sent it to her
attorney for formal revisions nor had
it notarized. Because it is clearly in
her handwriting, will this stand up?

Probably not. A holographic will (in her own hand) must be all in writing and signed by her at the end.
