According to the provisions of Article 17 of the Inheritance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a will can be made in the following ways:
(1) Notarization of wills. A notarized will is a will handled by the testator through a notary office. Notarization is the strictest way of will, which can really guarantee the authenticity of the will expressed by the testator, and notarization is also to deal with the inheritance and correction of the will.
The most reliable evidence.
(2) write a will. A will written by the testator himself is called a legacy from a book.
Tell me. Self-made will means that the testator expresses his meaning in words.
(3) testamentary writing. A ghost will is a will written by someone else. A will written by an agent is usually completed when the testator is unable to write or is unable to write due to illness. However, in order to ensure that the will written by the ghostwriter is really the true meaning of the testator and reduce disputes, there should be more than two witnesses present to witness it, one of whom will write it, indicating the year, month and day, and the ghostwriter, other witnesses present and the testator will sign the will.
(4) record the will. Recorded wills are wills recorded by a tape recorder. Wills made by recording are easy to be forged and edited. Therefore, the law stipulates that a will made by recording should be witnessed by more than two witnesses to prove the authenticity of the will.
(5) verbal will. An oral will is a will expressed orally by the testator and is not recorded in any way. Oral wills are completely proved by witnesses, which is very prone to disputes. Therefore, the law stipulates that the testator can only make an oral will in an emergency, and more than two witnesses must be present to witness it. After the state of emergency is lifted, if the testator can make a will in written or recorded form, he shall make a will in written or recorded form, and the oral will made shall be invalid.
