A will, also known as a Last Will and Testament, is an order made by someone specifying in writing what is to happen to their property after their death. If there is no will, the intestate succession comes into play, which specifies exactly in which order the family members inherit. The time and place that the will was made are among the few mandatory details and, of course, the testator must sign it. Depending on the country, a typed sheet with a signature is often only valid if a notary was present when it was signed.
