A handwritten Will is called a “holographic Will” and is valid in Michigan as long as it is entirely handwritten. The courts are very strict in determining whether a handwritten Will is valid and whether it will be enforced. Because most handwritten Wills do not cover all the areas that you wish to discuss, and because they are often not
properly written, it is recommended that you use a written, (as opposed to handwritten) Will.
