What are the main legal requirements for drafting a will?
When preparing a will, several legal requirements must be considered. First, the document must be written and signed by the testator in the presence of witnesses (usually two). Second, the testator must be mentally competent and clearly express their intentions without any external pressure. Third, depending on the country's legislation, a will may require notarization. Following these rules helps prevent legal disputes and ensures the will’s validity.
How is property distributed if there is no will?
If a will has not been drafted, inheritance is distributed according to intestacy laws. Typically, assets are passed to the closest relatives in order of priority: spouse or children first, then parents, siblings, and extended family members. If no close relatives exist, the inheritance may go to more distant relatives or even revert to the state. The intestacy process can be complicated and time-consuming, so a properly prepared will helps avoid uncertainty.
