Holographic Will

A holographic will is a type of will that is entirely handwritten and signed by the person making it, known as the testator. Unlike standard wills, it does not need to be witnessed or notarized, though this can vary by jurisdiction. Holographic wills are often used when someone wants to express their wishes quickly and informally. However, because of their informal nature, they can sometimes lead to disputes about their validity or the testator’s intentions, so it’s important to understand the laws in your area before relying on one.
