Arguably, you are better off either doing a proper holographic will or having a formal will prepared by a lawyer, rather than taking the do-it-yourself route and risking stepping in it.
Follow-up note: an improperly signed will is not fatal, it just complicates things a touch.

This is lawyer speak for "things are gonna get expensive" ;-)
Betcha it would've been cheaper to get a professionally drafted will in the first place.
