While I am not planning to die, there is a few sheets of paper stapled together in the bottom of my safe, saying how I want to be buried and what should be done

While I am not planning to die, there is a few sheets of paper stapled together in the bottom of my safe, saying how I want to be buried and what should be done with my assets (should prevent any undertaker taking advantage of grief), but I haven't included any passwords for anything. That is intentional -- not only does my e-mail hold some pretty personal things (not all of them mine) but I don't see a point in having anybody else go through my personal stuff.
Anybody feeling like that?
- queezey 8y agoI am not a/your lawyer, but what you are describing is known as a ["Holographic Will"](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/holographic-will.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/holographic-will.asp). Such a document may not be sufficient depending on your state/circumstances, and may not be respected by the probate court if the document is lost, destroyed, or otherwise called into question. What you want is a [Testamentary Will ](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/testamentary-will.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/testamentary-will.asp) that has been notarized and/or signed in the presence of witnesses.
