Where / How to write a will [Small gibs]

bump

Bump. Unfortunately I can't help you, I have no idea how to write a will in my own country. Maybe you can hire a lawyer?

It's almost always regulated depending on the country. In Poland for example, you need to pay a visit to a notary, and after a small payment you have a legal testament document that can and will be used in case of death. It's actually very easy in this case.

In America/Canada, I believe you can use https://www.legalzoom.com/, but I've never used them. They've been around for a while so I presume they are legitimate.

Outside of those areas, really not sure.

I know nothing about them, but have a bump.

You'll need to talk with a notary and/or a lawyer, probably.

Does creating a will differ in countries and does giving something to people in other countries mean you have to make two seperate will to account for the difference in laws?

I don't know enough to be able to give you proper guidance, but yes, inheritance laws, and what needs to be in a will (and what should not be in one), what can be in one (and what can't) differs from country to country. But giving to someone who lives abroad "should" not require you to write two wills, in normal cases at least, but there might be a lot of exceptions to this.

I assume it depends on the country but I think it involves a notary and maybe a lawyer. Good luck!

Sadly I can't help you at all in this regard, but have a bump so that hopefully someone else might :)

First, the details depend on where you live in the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, etc), since their inheritance laws can differ, and secondly, there's things like the need for at least two witnesses signing your will which cannot be entitled to any of your inheritance etc., so, as I said, there are some fine nuances and since I'm not familiar with how UK laws work here in detail and since the Interwebs are always 100% reliable regarding advice from strangers, you shouldn't consider ever visiting a solicitor regarding this matter. Never ever. Oh, wait... I meant the opposite :P.

no idea, thanx for the givs!

bum, see a notary about the will

You should be able to write your own will on a piece of paper, tissue, handkerchief, serviette or whatever you want, as long as you sign it in the presence of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries.
I hope you are not planning to die anytime soon.

Like others have already recommended you here, you should take an appointment with a notary. Will laws depend greatly on countries law so it's gonna be hard to get an good answer from here, while a notary will answer all those questions (and more you can have) for you. Including for international inheritance and stuff like that.

It really depends on the country you live in. I created a will that is legally valid in my country (Italy) by just writing an handwritten and signed paper with my dispositions and I giving it to my SO to preserve it. You can also ask a notary to register it and keep it but you have to pay.

I haven't fully read this, but I figure that's authoritative advice.

yep, it's something regulated by laws, considering it's not a trivial thing, you shouldn't trust some random internet stuff :p

bump :3

I think its different for every country but I havent really thought about it so I dont know
