According to Article 624 of the Civil Code 2015, a \u201cwill\u201d is an expression of the wishes of a person to bequeath his or her property to others after death.<\/p>\n
Forms of the Will:<\/strong><\/p>\n + Written wills which are unwitnessed;<\/p>\n + Written wills which are witnessed;<\/p>\n + Written wills which are notarized;<\/p>\n + Written wills that are certified.<\/p>\n + In case a person\u2019s life is threatened by death and they can’t make a written will, this person may make an oral will.<\/p>\n + After 03 months from the time of making an oral will, if the testator is still alive and clear-sighted, the will shall be automatically annulled.<\/p>\n What is <\/strong>a<\/strong> lawful will? <\/strong><\/p>\n A lawful will shall meet all conditions as follows:<\/p>\n A lawful will must also meet some other conditions depending on the given circumstances:<\/p>\n Thus, a will can be made orally or in writing, notarized, authenticated, or it can be not required to be notarized or authenticated. However, in reality, wills that are not notarized or authenticated are often disputed about their legality and proving them is often difficult because the time from when they are made to when they are used is often long.<\/p>\n Therefore, our advice is that when you intend to leave your heritage to someone else, you should make a will in writing and have it notarized\/authenticated so that the recipient can easily declare inheritance later.<\/p>\n The testator prepares a dossier following the instructions of the Notary Public or a competent person of the commune-level People\u2019s Committee.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The Notary Public or competent person of the commune-level People\u2019s Committee shall check the documents in the submitted application. After checking the application, in accordance with legal regulations, the request shall be accepted and the professional department will be assigned to draft the content of the Will.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Immediately after receiving all applications, the professional department will draft the will according to the wishes of the testator. After being drafted, the will will be transferred to a Notary Public or competent person of the Commune-level People’s Committee for content appraisal, technical appraisal for review, and lastly forwarded to the testator to read or listen or translate.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The testator, after reading\/listening\/translating, will then sign\/fingerprint the will if there is no request for correction. Witnesses (if any) and the Notary Public will sign to transfer the will to the department of stamping, keeping and returning.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Th<\/span>e testator pays the notary fees and receives notarized copies of the will at the counter.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to Article 624 of the Civil Code 2015, a \u201cwill\u201d is an expression of the wishes of a person to bequeath his or her property to others after death.
