Last wills can be a difficult subject for many people. At the same time, it’s nice to see that someone thought of you and mentioned you in their last will. It doesn’t mean that it’s nice because you get possessions, but it’s a result of that person liking and trusting you. But unfortunately, it sometimes happens that people who write a last will make one common mistake and the last will is rejected by the court as invalid. A lawyer revealed what to avoid when writing a will.

When is a last will invalid?
You write a will when you want your inheritance or a part of it to fall into the hands of someone who is not part of the family or is far down the line of inheritance, leaving nothing for them. And you have three options for writing a will. By hand, on a computer with witnesses, or at a notary. Writing a will with a notary is the most worthwhile, as he will tell you exactly how to write your last will so that it is valid. But if you want to write your will yourself, beware of these mistakes that people often make.
When you write your last will yourself, you need three things. Pencil, paper and know the rules. First, it is necessary to determine the heir. This must be either a natural person or a legal entity. Many people make the mistake of leaving property in their will to, for example, a children’s home or a church. Let this idea be the most beautiful, if you do not write the name of the church, as a legal entity, or, for example, the specific names of the owners of the children’s home, you are bequeathing the property to the buildings, which is not possible.
Multiple heirs
If you want more people to inherit, you need to clearly determine their share, or precisely list the things that will be the subject of the inheritance. If you bequeath a house, cottage, or villa to someone, the obligation to pay real estate tax will pass to the heirs. The will must be handwritten and you must write the date. At the same time, it is important to know that animals, or for example pets, cannot inherit. It seems bizarre, but there have actually been people who have tried to bequeath money and real estate to their cats or dogs in their last will and testament.
