the fronts will be hotter then the back but you should still be able to touch it without getting burned.

lift each end of the car and spin the wheel(s) by hand, it should spin freely with no noise.

from what you have described it sounds as if a caliper is sticking.

You need to give us more details about your vehicle. And if its the front brakes with the issue that is probably not your handbrake as that uses your rear brakes.
