Frequently asked questions about wills
A will is a document in which you write what should happen to your estate on the day you die. For example, you can stipulate that a person or organization should receive a particular item or a certain share of the inheritance. You can also write conditions that will apply to what someone inherits.
Many people think about writing a will but feel uncomfortable and think that I will do that later. This is perfectly understandable. But a will is good to have at any age. It may be needed for different phases of life and should be considered a living document. Once you've made your first will, it's easy to make changes later if circumstances change for you and your family. The most important thing is to write it now when you are thinking about it, so it gets done.
Yes, but it's not something a lawyer would recommend. There are some things that it is simply safer to get help from a professional to make sure it is done correctly.
If you have no children, you can in principle include us in your Will and leave them your entire inheritance. If you have children, they are always entitled to receive their share of the estate. This is usually half of everything you own. In your Will, you can distribute your assets as you wish. These can be real estate, Securities, money and furniture or objects. Remember that you can change your will whenever you want, or write a new one.
For a will to be valid, it must be correctly drafted, signed and witnessed. You can therefore start and finish your will at your leisure. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, you can always pause and resume later. Your will is not complete until you have signed and witnessed it.
