No. There are specific requirements for a will to be valid. See a lawyer. At least you can be sure your wishes will be carried out.

A will must be signed and witnessed by at least two witnesses. Individuals can now prepare a will online and have it reviewed by a New York attorney. If you are interested, take a look at www.elawyerny.com
