“Seems like I remember that handwritten wills don't need to be witnessed or notarized.”

Having experienced that scenario personally, I can assure you that’s correct.

And it’s astounding.

What’s stopping you, me, or the next door neighbor from successfully producing a “will” drawn up by Warren Buffett on a napkin, leaving us everything?

Based on my personal experience (although I walked away), apparently nothing.

Didn’t a guy try that a while back with a faux Howard Hughes will?

And got caught.
