📌 Legal Answer (No, it’s not a Bollywood plot—It’s legit! 🎬):
Yes, a handwritten will is 100% legal in India, provided it meets certain conditions. It’s called a holograph will.

✅ Essential Conditions for a Valid Will (Even If Handwritten):
✍️ Written by the testator in full senses
🖊️ Signed by the testator
👀 Attested by at least two witnesses
🗓️ Clearly mentions date and intention to distribute property

⚠️ No stamp paper or registration required (though registration is a good idea for safety).

😇 Final Takeaway:
If Grandpa’s will is clear, signed, and witnessed—it might just hold up in court. But if you want to avoid a courtroom soap opera, get a proper will drafted and registered. 🙌
