Does a handwritten will hold up in court?

Yes, this is what's called a holographic will and a holographic will is a Last Will that the individual does in their very own handwriting as well as then executes it and dates it at the page bottom or dates it at the page top as well as signs at the bottom, whichever they do. A handwritten will can not be handwritten out by somebody else as well as then signed by the decedent or your loved one. It's actually important to recognize that a hand written last will and testament is actually a very effective legal document as long as it is executed properly in the individual's very own handwriting, dated and signed.
