    Hello S:

    I'm not sure what you mean by "work". I suppose if nobody challenges a hand written will like that, it would "work". But, if somebody challenged it, and it WASN'T prepared by an attorney, their challenge might "work".

    If you want your husbands wishes to be carried out, HIRE a lawyer. It's not like you can't afford it.
