Re: Hand written document
Generally speaking a Will must be signed, attested, witnessed and notarized according to statutory requirements in order to be enforceable. so, it would appear that the hand-written document you refer to would not qualify. However, it is possible in certain specific circumstances for a hand-written document to be accepted as a Will. The bottom line is that you should consult with an attorney and have the attorney review the documents and all of the facts before giving you specific legal advice.
