Where / How to write a will [Small gibs]

As an aside, as others have stated, no, you don't need another will if you have assets in another country, but the will will be subject to inheritance laws there.

For example, many jurisdictions do not let you disinherit your spouse. If you have a valid will in a country that does allow you to disinherit your spouse, and you do so, if you have property in a country that grants half your estate to your spouse, local law will prevail and your spouse will be entitled to half the value of the property in that country.

Dunno myself. I'd need to check it out in my country first...

bump!!!

you can go to notary to write it so nobody can easily discredit it in ciurst or write with hand by yourself, don't think that your will won't matter in another country if you have some fortune in there

Here basically anything hand-written counts, so yeah country/law dependent how to do it.

I don't really know anything about writing a will but I made a plan with someone really close to me that if I die anytime soon, they have a majority of my passwords so they can go through and delete anything I did stupidly on the internet so at least when I go, I'll leave behind less of a mess than I would without the internet cleanse.

That's all I really have planned for my death. I apologize for not being able to be much help on this topic

No idea, have a bump and don't die

In the US there are lawyers who specialize in that kind of stuff; Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning, etc. Probably costs around $1000 to get it done. But you can of course just do it yourself, too. I think it really depends on how complicated your will is and how likely it may be that there are legal challenges. For example, if you had estranged children who might pop up after your death to make wild claims to your empire. :)

edit: other thing you can do is find someone who has paid a professional to write a will and copy theirs, changing it as you see fit. :)

I am not a lawyer; these are my opinion of how American law operates, which was originally based on the English system of law.

So, anything is better than nothing. However, the concern is when someone wants to dispute your will written on the back of a napkin--apparently, it is easy to get it rejected if it looks less legitimate. In America, Probate court takes care of a dead person's estate--but every move is arduous and costly. You want the process to seem as easy and obvious as possible so that the judge can declare: "This will is valid and straightforward--execute what it says and I should not need to adjudicate the process." A properly crafted Trust creates the mechanism for the assets (and liabilities) to flow where you want them without a judge guiding the process. However, this only works if your assets are transferred from niceguyjon's accounts TO "Trust of niceguyjon", signed "niceguyjon, executor of Trust." The Trust still must pay appropriate taxes, through you and its eventually its last executor.

1 tip I learned, after you pick your inheritors, specifically disinherit anyone else close to you (by name even) who might try to lay a claim. ("I do not leave anything to my cousin Jeffrey.") Also, declare that you do not have any more children than mentioned in your will. If any other children lay claim, you may specifically disinherit these "unknown heirs." I would hope that you really know how many children you have sired; this prevents a false claimant trying to widen the circle of beneficiaries and explode the cost of the resolution of your will.

I would chat up the clerk at your local town hall for information. Chances are you can at least figure out what's necessary without having to pay a lawyer to find out (though producing the actual will may involve paying somebody at some point). What's likely to happen is that the clerk will direct you someplace else, who will then be able to explain the process and refer you to whoever you need to see to make it "official".

Thanks and bump!
