The Civil Code divides wills into ordinary wills (Articles 949-951 of the Civil Code) and privileged wills (Articles 952-954 of the Civil Code). Ordinary wills include as follows:

1) hand-written will (holographic – Article 949 of the Civil Code);

2) allographic will (Article 951 of the Civil Code);

3) will made by a notary public (Article 950 of the Civil Code).

They are characterized by the fact that they may be at any time made by a person having the capacity to perform legal acts. If such a will is not revoked by the testator, it will remain valid regardless of how much time elapses between the day of making the will and the death of the testator. A privileged will may only be made, if there are special circumstances specified by law and its validity is limited in time (Article 955 of the Civil Code). Such a circumstance is the fear of the testator’s imminent death and the impossibility of making a will in the aforesaid forms. Privileged wills comprise an oral will, a will executed on board a ship or an airplane, and a military will.

Reference: rodzaje/formy testamentów

Reference information:
Polski ustawodawca podzielił testamenty na dwie główne formy:

zwykłe – znajdziemy wśród nich testament holograficzny (własnoręczny), notarialny oraz allograficzny (urzędowy);
szczególne – ustny, podróżny oraz wojskowy.

https://poradnikpracownika.pl/-jak-sporzadzic-testamenty-szc...

Testament ustny to oświadczenie woli spadkodawcy składane w obecności co najmniej trzech świadków. Możliwość sporządzenia testamentu w tej formie istnieje:

- w razie istnienia obawy rychłej śmierci;
- jeżeli wskutek szczególnych okoliczności zachowanie zwykłej formy testamentu jest niemożliwe lub bardzo utrudnione.

Testament w formie ustnej jest potwierdzany w ten sposób, że oświadczenie spadkodawcy jest spisywane, przed upływem roku od jego złożenia, przez świadka lub osobę trzecią, z podaniem miejsca i daty oświadczenia oraz miejsca i daty sporządzenia pisma, a pismo to podpiszą spadkodawca i dwaj świadkowie albo wszyscy świadkowie. Treść testamentu ustnego może zostać potwierdzona również w ten sposób, że ciągu sześciu miesięcy od dnia otwarcia spadku świadkowie (wszyscy - wyjątkowo wystarczy dwóch) złożą zgodne zeznania przed sądem.
