Succession: the documents to provide
The contract of a will or a testament is, according to the law of wills, have to contain an exchange of a current performance for a bequest in the future. The most important things that a will has to contain are, first of all, the basic personal information of the testator (name, place of birth, date of birth, place of residence, name of parents), the a detailed description of the property and assets in the testator’s possession, name of relatives, husband or spouse and children who are involved in the inheritance and other beneficaries. It is also recommended to give some additional beneficaries in case some dies accidentally. At the signing of the contract two non-beneficary witnesses should be present besides the lawyer, with their personal data included in the contract.
In order to tackle some future legal insecurity regarding the validity of the contract, the testator should compile long before reaching an age, when he might be too old and mentally weak. If not the contract might be considered void, if some inheritors possess legal evidence of irresponsibleness of the testator or the testator might include something just for an external pressure in the document.
