There's certainly nothing illegal about writing your will by hand, if that's what you're asking.

A proper will would ideally be notarized, and there's no guarantee that all the provisions of the will are themselves legal (there are lots of weird rules about wills), but the fact that it was written by hand is not in itself a problem.
