Will Probate
Description
Although drafting a will before a notary is recommended, some people die, having left a holographic (handwritten) will or a will made before witnesses. An additional step in succession settlement is the will probate. This verification aims to confirm the document’s form: is it a will? Does it respect the law’s formal requirements?
The notary will complete the procedure provided for by law, thus allowing the estate’s liquidator to begin liquidating the estate.
