HANDWRITTEN (HOLOGRAPHIC) WILLS West Virginia generally understands a holographic will to be a handwritten will that is signed by the testator, but is not witnessed. Holographic wills are usually valid in West Virginia if the dispositive provisions of the will are wholly in the testators handwriting. (W. Va.
A Last Will and Testament, often simply called a will, is one estate planning document that single people should consider creating. However, single people should also consider a trust, depending on their assets and how they want those assets to be distributed.
Three trusts that single people may want to consider include a revocable living trust, an asset protection trust, or a testamentary trust.
The only downside is that intestate succession laws determine the percentage share of the estate to which each heir is entitled, so if a decedent wanted to leave more of their property to a child who is financially struggling, they wont have that option, as intestate succession would provide each of their children
IMPORTANT NOTE: Notarization is NOT required for a valid will in West Virginia. A Self-Proof Affidavit, which is signed by the attesting witnesses, assists with probate and is usually used. The affidavit is notarized, which means that the notary as another person must be present and handling pages.
