Holographic Will

 

A holographic will is an unattested will that is completely in testator's own handwriting.

Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary

A will that is completely handwritten, dated and signed by the person making it. Holographic wills are generally not witnessed and may be in the form of a letter. Although it's legal in many states, making a holographic will is never advised except as a last resort.
