Re: hand-written will

Yes, a will can be hand-written, but the same requirements apply whether it is typed or hand-written.

Re: hand-written will

Whether a will is handwritten or not is unimportant. What IS important is the usage of correct language, the granting of the correct powers, what it does not say, the precision of language, the proper witnessing and other things. In other words, unless a lawyer has done it or reviewed it, it may be useless (or problematic) as it may not meet the requirements of the law.

Re: hand-written will

Legal counsel in preparing a will not only provides assurance that legal formalities are complied with, it also makes sure that no details are overlooked in conserving and passing along your estate. The piece of mind that this can bring to an individual in the final stages of life cannot be overstated. Best regards!
