Making a will is a simple act that avoids family conflicts and ensures that our assets are distributed according to our wishes. However, many people put it off indefinitely.
A will provides clarity. It determines who the heirs will be and how the estate will be distributed. You can also designate an executor or establish specific legacies.
The procedure is quick and inexpensive. The most common will is the notarial open will, which is signed before a notary. It is immediately valid and can be amended as often as desired.
If a person dies without a will, legal succession applies, which may not coincide with their wishes. This can lead to disputes between family members.
Consulting a lawyer before making a will allows you to adapt your will to specific situations and avoid formal errors.
