Drawing up a will is not mandatory at all. Although this very document is a guarantee that "everything you have acquired by back-breaking labor" will not go to ashes after your departure to another world. Therefore, it is important to determine the fate of all your "good" in advance and independently.
It is possible to draw up a will competently only in the presence of a notary. He will certify the document you have created. And if you do not want or cannot write yourself, the notary will conscientiously transfer all your verbal wishes to paper, but only in the presence of witnesses. Sign the drawn up will with your own hand or entrust it to a person you know well, explaining to the notary present at the same time the reasons why you cannot sign the document yourself. Do not forget to indicate in the will the place and date of its attestation. In their absence, the court will declare the document drawn up by you invalid. If you do not want someone to know about your "last will" ahead of time, make a closed will. Write it and sign it yourself. Place the document in an envelope and seal carefully. Sign the envelope yourself and have two witnesses do the same. The notary will put your sealed will in another envelope, on which he will write your details, the place and date of the adoption of the will, surnames, names, patronymics and residence of both witnesses. When drawing up a will, remember that the law somewhat limits the rights to dispose of the inheritance. In the document, the "mandatory share" must certainly be observed. This means that at least half of all property should be bequeathed to parents, spouses and disabled children. In case of non-observance of the “obligatory share” rule, the will may be challenged by the offended relatives in court. It is also possible to challenge the will by proving that the testator was "a little out of his mind" when drawing up the document. To avoid such problems, go through a psychiatric examination before drawing up a will, and attach the result to the written document. Violations and errors found in the drawn up will are the main reason for the invalidation of the document in court.
