Testament

"Inheritance and Inheritance."
If you want to make sure that in the event of your death inherit those close to your heart, you should consider leaving a will. Only by drawing up a will can it be guaranteed that the succession of assets corresponds to your wishes.
Disputes over an inheritance have already disrupted many family relationships and friendships have broken. However, you can save your heirs from arguments about your inheritance if you inform yourself about the inheritance and inheritance in good time and make provisions for the death now.



Types of wills:
Handwritten will

The handwritten Testament must be handwritten written and signed by the testator. The signature should best be given with first and last names so that confusion is impossible.

In addition, it is important to state the date and place in the draft. The title could be, for example:

"My last will" or "will".

Notary's testament

A notary will help you formulate the Last Will in accordance with the law.
He also ensures that the last will is officially kept.

The testator's signature confirms that the transcript is correct.
Nottestament

The emergency will is a special form of the will and has to be explained orally to at least three witnesses, who have the task of writing down the will of the dying person.

To ensure that your "last will" can also come into force, you should file your will with a notary, the district court or a trusted person and inform your relatives of this.
Always keep your will up to date - in case of doubt, the most current document overrides all earlier ones.
Inheritance order:

Anyone who is entitled to the inheritance if no will has been left, and what mandatory portion of close relatives is entitled by law, regulates the legal succession. The so-called inheritance order is decisive here. This means that the legal heirs are attributed to a certain order based on the degree of relationship. Here the relatives inheritance law applies. In addition, spouse inheritance law must be taken into account.

  • First order heirs: descendants
  • Second order heirs: parents and their descendants
  • Third order heirs: grandparents and their descendants



Spouse inheritance law:

Since the wife or husband is not related to the testator, they are not in the order of heirs. Other rules apply to them, which also apply to registered communities. The compulsory portion of the spouse's resident partner is determined by how many other legal heirs there are and by the property status at the time of death. The provisions in broad outline: In the case of heirs of the first order - i.e. children or grandchildren - the partner is entitled to a compulsory portion of a quarter. If the marriage / partnership was childless and the testator's parents are still alive, the compulsory portion is half of the inheritance. This does not affect the common household items and wedding gifts. In principle, you are entitled to the spouse.
