Must a Will and Last Testament be typed to be accepted

Say that you are actually visiting your rich uncle Ned. He has worked so many years and actually has amassed a sizeable fortune that he wishes to bestow upon his family. Imagine also that your uncle Ned has two sons that he absolutely does not like and instead wishes to give you his entire estate worth in the millions. During this visit he writes on a piece of paper with a pen that all of his estate is to go to you upon his death. This scenario has actually occurred quite frequently in the legal system whereby the question always comes up whether such a Will and Last Testament created by simply writing down on a piece of paper the intent of the testator is valid. The answer to this question is that on the general level yes it is but you also have to look at the specific jurisdiction where you live. In most areas such a Will is actually referred to as a holographic Will and is just as valid and binding as any other type of legal document. The important aspect to actually remember is the fact that the person making the Will had to be of sound mind and character. What this essentially means is that the person who created the legal document should be one where an ordinary individual could see that he is of sound mind and not lacking capacity as far as mental state is concerned. If there is no problem in this regard then the legal document will be valid. However, this does not mean that others will the litigate this issue. Thus, it is much easier if the legal document is actually created by an attorney who will be able to ensure that the person making the document is of sound mind and mental health and as such so much trouble and litigation can be avoided. The Will is actually created by a Maryland attorney who in turn will listen very carefully to exactly how you would like your estate divided up upon your passing. So lets say for example there is a situation where you want part of your estate to go to specific person and the other portion to another individual, by utilizing this legal document prepared by a Maryland attorney you can very easily avoid all of the litigation and legal costs that may occur if you do not have a Will. The process is very straightforward and simple if you retain a qualified Maryland Attorney to prepare it for you. If there is a Maryland will with clear language that lays out exactly who should receive the assets then the courts will really not need to look at the facts and circumstances of each case. On the other hand they can simple refer to the will which was prepared by a Maryland Attorney in order to determine exactly who should receive the assets. This will help to avoid a lot of costly litigation and legal costs that occurs when there is a dispute about the division of an individual’s estate. Otherwise the heirs of the estate who believe that they are entitled to the assets will have to hire their own probate attorneys in order to recover what they believe belongs to them. This of course carries a lot of litigation costs and attorney costs that could have easily been avoided by utilizing the services of a Maryland Attorney to create your Will.
