Question

handwritten will supercede original

If I have a legal Will drawn up by an attorney, and several years later write out one by hand and have it witnessed, does the handwritten will supercede the original?



Answer

Re: handwritten will supercede original

Yes, as long as it is properly prepared and executed. Note the key word is "properly". You have to decide if it is worth saving a few hundred dollars for a lawyer to make sure it is right.



Answer

Re: handwritten will supercede original

yes, if the handwritten will is valid. To be valid, it must be properly witnessed. You should have it examined by an attorney to be sure.
