International Will

The international Will is a legal document that allows you to dispose of your assets and property after your death, in multiple jurisdictions. This type of Will is essential when you have assets in different countries or live in a different country than your citizenship. It ensures that the provisions of your Will will be recognized and executed in accordance with the local laws of each jurisdiction involved. We at Amorim offer comprehensive support for the writing and validating of international Wills, helping to make them conform with the legal requirements of each country and making sure that your wishes are respected worldwide.

It’s recommended for you if you have assets or interests spread across different countries and need to make sure that the provisions of your Will are legally valid and respected worldwide, whether you are creating one or adjusting a previous one to meet international laws.

"To write and validate an international Will you must meet the following requirements: Personal documents: You must provide your ID and passport, translated and apostilled.
Documents relating to your bequests: You must provide documents that prove you own all the assets to be included in your Will, in your country of origin as well as the countries of your heirs.
Existing Will: You must furnish any previous Will you may have, translated and apostilled.
Proof of legal standing: You may be asked to provide documents that prove your legal standing to make a Will, such as medical records.
Witnesses: You must put together documents relating to the witnesses to your Will, in conformity with the laws of the countries involved.
Consular documents: You may be asked to obtain documents or approvals from the consulate or embassy of the countries involved.
Specific requirements: You must comply with the legal and procedural requirements of the countries in which the Will is going to be registered or executed, which may include additional forms and specific declarations."
