Notarial Wills

A notarial will is a legally prepared and authenticated document created in the presence of a notary public, who verifies the identity of the testator (the person making the will). This process ensures the will’s authenticity, proper execution, and protection against forgery or disputes. Notarial wills are typically more formal and secure, often used in civil law jurisdictions, and may be stored in official records. They provide clear evidence of the testator’s intentions and adherence to legal requirements, offering greater certainty for the distribution of assets after death.
