Frequently Asked Questions

A holographic will is a will that is entirely handwritten by the testator (the person making the will) and signed by them. Some states recognize holographic wills as valid even without witnesses, but requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Witness requirements for holographic wills vary by state. Some states recognize holographic wills without witnesses, while others require witnesses. It's important to check your state's specific requirements to ensure your will is valid.
No. For a will to be considered holographic, it must be entirely handwritten by the testator. Typed parts may invalidate the will in states that recognize holographic wills. The entire document should be in your own handwriting.
Holographic wills can be legally binding in states that recognize them, but they are more easily contested than formally executed wills with witnesses and notarization. We recommend consulting with an attorney to ensure your will meets all legal requirements in your state.
While holographic wills can be valid in some states, formal wills with proper witnesses and notarization are generally safer and less likely to be contested. For important estate planning matters, we strongly recommend consulting with an estate planning attorney to create a properly executed will.
