Is it legal to handwrite your will?

Yes.

Back in the day, before computers were a thing, people had their Last Will and Testament handwritten and stored in a safe. Then the court would verify that the handwriting actually belonged to the deceased person.

Nowadays, it's not as common, but handwritten wills (also called Holographic Wills) are still accepted, and are subject to the same requirements as the regular ones (2 witnesses).
