Not if it is written COMPLETELY in your own handwriting. There are different kinds of wills. If a will is typed, it would have to be notarized. If you write it TOTALLY 100% by your own hand, it doesn't have to be notarized.

Depends on the form of the will used. Check out types of testaments in Louisiana for the types that are legal.
