No it does not have to be typed. A holographic will is valid in some jurisdictions, even without witnesses.

How should legal papers be typed?

This is a broad and general question, and there are many types of legal papers. They range from contracts to court documents, and even school and medical records. Generally speaking, legal documents are generally typed by attorneys who are familiar with the general terms of such contracts. However, many legal forms are available online or at an office supply store. It generally is illegal for non-attorneys to produce legal documents for other people. But it is perfectly legal for you to type up your own legal document. If you choose to do this, then it is up to you to decide what the terms and conditions are going to be for the contract - and that is something that will be mutually agreed upon by both sides.
