Why Make Your Will Before a Notary?

A notarial will is the safest and most cost-effective option in the long run. Unlike handwritten wills (olograph wills) or wills made before witnesses, a notarial will:

  • Is drafted by a legal professional who ensures full compliance with the law
  • Is securely kept, preventing loss or destruction
  • Does not require court validation upon death, reducing delays and costs for heirs
  • Is clear and unambiguous, minimizing the risk of disputes
  • Designating heirs and distributing assets
  • Appointing a liquidator (executor) of the estate
  • Estate planning to reduce tax impact
  • Protecting minor children (guardian, trust, etc.)
  • Special provisions for a spouse, family business, or real estate
  • Specific wishes regarding your estate or particular legacies

Making a Will: A Responsible Step

Writing your will is not only about planning for the future; it is also about offering peace of mind to those you love. A notarial will eliminates uncertainty, simplifies estate settlement, and protects your family during a difficult time.
