Are holograph wills still valid in England?  They were up through the 1930s,
for I have seen them mentioned in mystery stories.  This would solve the
problem.  To quote one web site, "The holograph will must, however, be
entirely written and signed by the hand of the testator. It cannot be
written with a form, a typewriter or a computer. Witnesses are not required
for this type of will. Moreover, it is preferable to date the will although
this is not an essential condition to its validity."

I honestly have no idea - most of my knowledge on the subject comes from
mystery novels, where the will is always the cause of at least one murder ..
. But even if they're not in the muggle world they might be in the wizarding
world - after all the point of a witness is to prove that the person signing
is who they say they are and that they are not being coerced, I'm sure there
must be a spell that could do that.
