Is a last will and testament written and signed by hand a perfectly legal document?
There's certainly nothing illegal about writing your will by hand, if that's what you're asking.

Notarization can provide additional evidence of the testator's intent but may not be required for validity. It is advisable to consult with a legal expert to determine the validity of a particular will.
