Writing a Will

A will is a legal document that specifies how an individual's property and, if any, custody of minor children should be handled after death.

What is in a will?

The document expresses the individual's wishes and names a trustee or executor whom they trust to carry out their stated intentions. The will also specifies whether a trust should be established after death. Depending on the estate owner's intentions, a trust can be established during their lifetime or after their death.

How to prove the authenticity of a will?

A will's authenticity is determined by a legal process known as probate. Probate is the first step in administering a deceased person's estate and distributing assets to beneficiaries. When a person dies, the custodian of the will must take the will to the probate court or the executor named in the will within 30 days of the testator's death.

The probate process is a court-supervised procedure in which the validity of the will left behind is proven and accepted as the deceased's true last testament. The executor named in the will is officially appointed by the court, which grants the executor legal authority to act on behalf of the deceased.

写遗嘱

遗嘱是一份法律文件，规定了个人财产以及未成年子女的监护权（如果有）在死后应如何处理。

遗嘱里有什么？

该文件表达了个人的意愿，并指定了他们信任的受托人或遗嘱执行人来执行他们陈述的意图。遗嘱还规定了死后是否应设立信托。根据遗产所有者的意图，可以在其生前或死后建立信托。

如何证明遗嘱的真实性？

遗嘱的真实性由称为遗嘱认证的法律程序确定。遗嘱认证是管理死者遗产并将资产分配给受益人的第一步。当一个人死亡时，遗嘱的保管人必须在立遗嘱人死亡后 30 天内将遗嘱带到遗嘱认证法庭或遗嘱中指定的执行人。

遗嘱认证程序是法院监督的程序，其中遗嘱的有效性得到证明并被接受为死者的真实遗嘱。遗嘱中指定的遗嘱执行人由法院正式任命，法院授予遗嘱执行人代表死者行事的合法权力。
