A holographic will is a will that is entirely handwritten by the testator (the person making the will) and signed by them. This type of will is recognized in some states, including California, where Phyllis may have lived. A nuncupative will is an oral will, which is not recognized in all states and typically requires certain formalities to be valid. A disinherited children's share will is a term used to describe a will that intentionally leaves out a child or children of the testator, which does not apply in this scenario. Finally, while holographic wills are not recognized in all states, they are not illegal in all states either.
