The Civil Code of the Philippines -- I have a copy in front of me now -- says "A holographic will is one entirely written, dated, and signed by the hand of the testator." Simplicity itself. Juan writes out a will in his usual handwriting, dates, signs and seals and either tucks it away or leaves it in the hands of a trusted individual.
The Civil Code goes on to point out the advantages of a holographic will -- easier to make, easy to revise, easier to keep secret. That middle clause is important -- a holographic will, by its author's revisions, keeps up with the will maker's situation and doesn't entail trotting down to a lawyer's office to make alterations which, naturally, will cost another arm and leg.
Don't die intestate -- only lawyers profit from squabbling relatives. Make a holographic will. I am. Read the complete original article here http://www2.sunstar.com.ph/davao/covington-last-will-and-testamentd
It is important to note that a holographic will must be in the hand writing of the testator to be valid.

This is a much easier way to do good will and testaments especially to those rich people who are too old and sick. For more info about good will and testaments, you can visit www.ndvlaw.com.
