Re: holographic wills
In order for a holographic will to be valid, it must have the same formalities as a regular will (no crossouts, initial every numbered page, two witnesses, and to be self-proving- notarized). There are many nuances as to what is a valid will in Florida and it is best to consult with an attorney to determine the validity.
