Answer:
Hello Carl
No, unfortunately that is not possible. The law stipulates formal requirements for a will.
To be valid, a will must firstly be written by hand from beginning to end, secondly dated and thirdly signed.
If you are not in a position to do this or it is too much work for you, you have the option of having a public will drawn up by a notary.
