This is a good move. Create your own life until the end. Your loved ones will thank you when they know your last will and can decide on your behalf. With the LOOKING FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE provision folder, you can manage all things in one dossier. You can order the pension folder in our online shop.
How do I make a will?
The handwritten will You write the handwritten will by hand from beginning to end. At the end, write down the date and sign the document.
Check your sentences carefully to avoid misunderstandings. In the worst case scenario, unclear wording can lead to disputes among the heirs. Statements such as “My niece Berta should have the house” can be interpreted in different ways: Under what conditions can Berta take over the house? Does she have to pay off the other heirs?
It is best to have your will checked by a notary, a lawyer or another specialist in order to avoid such stumbling blocks.
Depending on your personal situation, it makes sense to enclose a medical certificate of your ability to make judgments with your will. If you have dementia, for example, this prevents your will from being declared invalid due to the illness.
The public will You do not write the public will yourself, but together with a notary or a notary. Finally, the notary and two witnesses certify the will. These witnesses must not be related to you or be mentioned in your will.
With their signature, the witnesses confirm their ability to judge without knowing the content of the will.
After completion, you deposit the public will with the responsible office, e.g. the inheritance office or a notary’s office.
