What is a testamentary donation?
A will is a person's final will, outlining who will leave their property upon their death and how they will leave it. It can be handwritten, made at a notary, or, in exceptional cases, orally. A person can leave all or part of their assets (movable and immovable property, bank accounts, valuable documents) to an institution through a will prepared during their lifetime.

Who can make a testamentary donation?
Anyone who is able to make their own decisions and is over 15 years of age can make a donation through a will.

How to prepare a will?
The most common way is to make an official will in the presence of a notary public with two witnesses.

Apart from this, a person can prepare his will in his own handwriting and give it to a notary, or he can make it verbally in accordance with the conditions specified by law.

A will becomes effective only after the person's death. While alive, the person can continue to use the assets in question as they wish.

Important informations:

– The person who wants to make a testamentary donation, a "mentally stable" report from a fully equipped hospital must take.

– This report, on the same date as the day the will was prepared It is mandatory by law to be regulated.

– If the donor first-degree relatives (spouse, child or parent) if any, the law protects their right to inherit.

– Wills made for people who are not first-degree relatives, even if objected to remains valid.
