holographic will

Read a random definition: Riot Act

A quick definition of holographic will:

A holographic will is a type of will that is written and signed by the person who made it, without the need for witnesses. This means that the person wrote the entire will by themselves, in their own handwriting. However, not all states recognize holographic wills, and the rules for making one can vary depending on where you live. For example, in Texas, the entire will must be in the person's handwriting, while in Utah, only some parts need to be. In New York, only certain people, like members of the armed forces, can make holographic wills.

A more thorough explanation:

A holographic will is a type of will that is written and signed by the person making the will, without the need for witnesses. This means that the person making the will writes it themselves, and signs it, without anyone else needing to be present.

Each state has different requirements for what makes a holographic will valid. For example:

  • In Texas, the entire will must be written in the person's own handwriting. It does not need to be witnessed by anyone else.
  • In Utah, as long as the signature and important parts of the will are in the person's own handwriting, it can be considered a valid holographic will.
  • In New York, only certain people can make a valid holographic will, such as members of the armed forces during a war or conflict.

These examples show that holographic wills are different from regular wills because they do not require witnesses. However, each state has its own rules for what makes a holographic will valid, so it's important to check the laws in your state if you are considering making a holographic will.
