What is it?

The open will is the document through which a person expresses his will regarding the destination of his assets and rights after his death.  It allows you to organize the succession, designate heirs and legatees, appoint executors or accountants, establish substitutions or include other provisions of a personal or property nature.

What do I need to prepare the signature?

• Valid official identity document.

• Data of the people you wish to name as heirs, legatees, executors or accountants-partiers.

• Information about specific assets when necessary to draft certain testamentary provisions.

What procedures does the notary carry out?

Before signing, he advises you on the most appropriate way to organize your succession, checks your identity and capacity, and draws up the will in accordance with your will and the applicable legislation.

After signing, the notary electronically communicates its granting to the General Registry of Last Will Acts.
