Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Wisconsin

Odds are slim that a homemade will would ever be useable in court to carry out your mother's estate plan, regardless of whether or not she was competent when she drafted it, since she probably did not understand the formalities of witnessing and execution required under WI law when she wrote it up and signed it. However, if she is still alive, there may still be ways to correct these deficiencies in order to make it valid. You should therefore consult with an experienced probate lawyer as soon as possible.
