In England and Wales, yes it is, if it complies with the basic requirements for a will, particularly as to witnessing.
The "signature clause should read "Signed by [full name] as her last will in our presence, and then by us in her presence". You sign in the presence of your two (adult) witnesses, neither of whom should be a person who could under any circumstances benefit under your will, and then (while the three of you stay together) they should add their signatures under yours, and write their full names and addresses.
Make sure you insert the date on which the will was signed.
Be warned, though - before I retired as a solicitor, I made a lot of money sorting out home-made wills.

Unique for one, yes we love the bad boys, but we also love the bad boys to be good men. Bad boys are mysterious and not yes men. I can't stand men who say things like any thing you want to do baby, (rolls eyes) I ask 3 men to take an adventure with me, and just get in a car a drive. I needed for once in my life to be irresponsible and go have fun with no destination in mind. None of them would out of the three, then I met a man like you, and he said "what the hell lets do it!" I quoted the old Eddy Money song " I'v got two tickets to paradise, won't you pack your bags we will leave tonight." That was the best trip I ever took we ended up gone for 3 months saw the mountains, stayed in a gothic hotel that was like a castle, went to amusement parks. I lost my job, so did he. Yet I would never take it back for a million dollars (no regrets.) We both found new jobs and have been married now over 10 years and yes he is still a bad bad boy, oh yeah! I didn't want to wait till I retired and old to have fun, I wanted to take a risk while young and be a bad girl for once. Wow my dad was pissed off (oh well) he got over it. One of the coolest parts was we rented a house for about a month of the time in a valley in Tenn surrounded by the mountains it was an amazing adventure. I am so glad you rip the warning tags off the mattress, and don't color between the lines. You are living life, and not being a clone of society. You can have a productive life, I am a nurse and I teach nursing, but gave it up about a year ago for my adventure with the pen. I am taking another risk to write. I always wanted to be a writer, and my bad boy supports that decision all the way. He is a builder and for his B-day because he is such a bad boy I bought him a F-150 fire engine red fully guy loaded truck lol. My point is be all that you are, but treat the women in your life like a queen, oh and make sure she walks the same path. Then your life will always be an adventure, and you will be treated like a king.

Yes providing the person who wrote the will is in sound mind, and that the two witnesses are totally independent and are not named to inherit anything. It's also better if you take it and register it with a solicitor, you do not have to alter it , just get it legally registered.

depends on the state after my husbands grandma died there was no will to be found anywhere but the lawyer handling the estate said that if we could find anything she had written expressing her wishes for the disbursal of her property then it would be legal and binding even if not witnessed at all

It would depend on how clear, concise, and accurate the writing was (i.e., written so that it will stand up to scrutiny as a legal contract), and also whether or not the will needed to be notarized in your state.

Only if the state it is written in only requires 2 witnesses, and only if the testator (person writing the will) is competent: knows what a will does and intends the writing to be his/her will.

In the UK yes it is. But it's very dangerous to assume that your wishes will be met. The 'legal jargon' protects you.

I had this situation come up a few years ago. My grandfather kept a journal in which he often changed his mind about his will. When he passed away his journal superseded his will, as the judge put it " it is obvious what the man wanted."
My experience is that anything is better than nothing in these matters.
