\nThe act of writing a Will is not complex and requires only that you comply with certain guidelines provided by law. A will allows you to identify, within the law, the person or people who after your death take over all your rights. However when making a will, the law obliges us to leave a certain percentage of our patrimony to our so-called \u201clegitimate\u201d heirs, that is our spouse, children or, in the absence of these, our parents. If there are no legitimate heirs you can dispose of your own patrimony as you wish: but, in the absence of a will the inheritance goes to more distant relatives (or, in the absence of relatives, to the state).<\/p>\n
\nThis is the simplest, most economic and practical form of will and has the following basic requirements:<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is a formal will requiring a\u00a0particular procedure. The will is drawn up directly by the notary who, once it is written, gives it to the person in the presence of witnesses.
\nIt is then signed by the person, the notary and by witnesses. It is kept by the notary, who is the executor and confirms that the person making the will is of sound mind.<\/p>\n
\nThis kind of will is now practically disused. The content of the will remains unknown even to the notary who merely receives and keeps it. It can be written by computer. It must be dated and signed, placed in a closed envelope and is then sealed directly by the notary who receives it in the presence of two witnesses.<\/p>\n\n
\nIf you want to leave a legacy to the Foundation, when you write your Will you must state clearly the address and charity number (as above).
\nIf you would like to change a Will that you have already made, it is not necessary to make a new Will. You can add a \u2018codicil\u2019 and simply send it to your solicitor. A codicil allows you to make changes or additions to your Will and must be read in together with it.
\nYou can easily find examples and information on writing wills and codicils on the internet:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/make-will\/overview<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
