      Depends on the jurisdiction. Some states recognise “nuncupative” and “holographic” wills.

      Other jurisdictions recognise any “speech” that details disposal of assets upon death as a will.

        There is no jurisdiction in which the facts of this situation would constitute a binding will.

        The circumstances in which a will can be formed orally are death-bed situations where formation of a proper will are impractical.
