Holographic Will

Incompetency

A will entirely handwritten, dated and signed by the testator (the person making the will), but not signed by required witnesses. under those conditions it is valid in about half the states despite the lack of witnesses. a letter which has all the elements of a will can be a holographic will, as can a will scratched in the dust of an automobile hood of a person dying while lost in the desert.
