According to the relevant provisions of China's Inheritance Law, a self-written will refers to a written will made by the testator himself, and the testator has the right to dispose of the property after death in advance according to his own wishes in accordance with the provisions of the law.

A self-made will can be concluded according to the following procedures:

(1) The testator writes the contents of the will. The testator should write the full text of the will in person, which can not only truly express the will of the testator, but also prevent others from forging, tampering or adding the contents of the will.

(2) The testator shall specify the year, month, day and place of writing in his will. The time of making a will has a certain influence on the validity of the will. If there is any contradiction between the contents of different written wills, the later written will shall prevail. At the same time, the time of making a will can sometimes prove the authenticity of the will.

(3) The testator's autograph.

(4) If it is necessary to alter, add or delete in a written will, the number of words to be altered, added or deleted shall be indicated next to the altered or deleted contents, and the altered or added or deleted place shall be signed separately. The Supreme People's Court's judicial interpretation stipulates: "The content of personal property disposal after death in a citizen's suicide note is really the true meaning of the deceased. If someone signs and indicates the year, month and day, and there is no evidence to the contrary, it can be regarded as a self-written will. "
