The will must be handwritten, especially if it is a self-written will of the testator, it should be written by the testator himself. It is also important to note that the will must be written by the testator. If the will is signed by someone else, witnesses must be present at the scene where the will is written. The witnesses and the attorney must sign the will.

It should be handwritten because the law does not limit the validity of a printed will. However, a printed signature is as valid as a thumbprint. It mainly depends on whether it expresses your true wishes. Of course, it must be reasonable. If an unreasonable will is unreasonable, the court will also invalidate the unreasonable part, such as for people who are incapable of working ( The elderly, minors, etc.) must have appropriate property distribution, otherwise, the court will rule that such a will is partially invalid.

What are the conditions for a printed will to be treated as a self-written will?

1. It must be the true expression of the will of the testator;

2. There is a testator My signature, and indicate the year, month and day;

3. There is no contrary evidence.

If the printed self-written will meets the above three points, it can be treated as a self-written will.

If the printed self-written will does not meet any of the above three points, it will not be legally effective and will not be protected by the law. Because Article 17 of my country's "Succession Law" has clear provisions on self-written wills: self-written wills should be written and signed by the testator, and the year, month and day should be indicated.

In layman's terms, the "Succession Law" requires that self-written wills be handwritten, and printed self-written wills are generally not legally valid.
