FAQ
Estate planning is the process of organizing the distribution of your assets before your death, ensuring that your belongings are distributed according to your wishes. It is important because it helps prevent family conflicts, reduces the tax burden on heirs, and ensures that your assets are managed properly.
To make a valid will, you must comply with the legal requirements of your country, which generally include the written execution of the will, your signature in the presence of witnesses, and in some cases, notarization. It is advisable to consult with an attorney to ensure that your will complies with all legal formalities.
If a person dies without a will, their estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. This means that their assets will be divided among their legal heirs in a predetermined order established by law, which may not reflect the deceased person’s wishes.
Inheritance disputes can be resolved through amicable negotiations, mediation, or, if necessary, through legal proceedings. A specialized inheritance lawyer can help mediate conflicts and represent the interests of heirs in litigation, always seeking a fair and lawful solution.
