Notarized will

The notary certifies the will drawn up by him according to the will of the testator or presented to him for certification by the testator. The testator signs the will in the presence of a notary.

The testator can make a will in another way – he personally hands his last will in a sealed envelope to the notary for deposit and confirms to the notary that this is his will. The notary draws the notarial act on the will transfer for deposit, which is signed both by the testator and the notary.

The testator may revoke the will deposited at the notary’s at any time. In this case, the notary draws the notarial act on revocation of the will, which is signed by the testator and the notary.

Testament

A testament is an unilateral deal by which the legator (hereinafter the testator) gives instructions regarding the inheritance in case of his death. The will is made personally by the testator.

Wills may be notarial or domestic. A notarial will may be a notarised will or a will deposited at the notary’s. A domestic will may be signed in the presence of witnesses or written personally by the testator
