We Explain How You Can Make Your Will Online

How is a will made online? 

The will is a very important document that allows us to leave our last wishes and dispositions after our death. 

At notaria-online.com, we advise you so that you can make your will with total security and legality. In this article, we explain how this process is carried out.

The different types of wills that can be granted in Spain are the following:

1. Holographic will: This type of will is one that is written by the testator's own hand and does not require the intervention of a notary. For it to be valid, it must meet certain requirements such as the date, the signature, and the identification of the testator.
2. Open will: The open will is one that is made before a notary, where the testator expresses their last wishes verbally or in writing. It is the most common type of will in Spain and the one that offers the greatest security and legal guarantees.
3. Closed will: This type of will consists of delivering a sealed envelope to the notary with the document written by the testator. The notary keeps the envelope until the moment of the testator's death and opens it in the presence of the heirs and witnesses.
4. Military will: This type of will is for persons who are in a situation of war or military operations. It is made before a military officer and applies in the event of death in the line of duty.
5. Maritime will: This type of will is for persons who are at sea and is made before the captain of the ship or before a notary on the coast.

At notaria-online.com, we offer a complete service for the making of wills, with the guarantee that our officials are highly qualified to carry out the process with total security and efficiency up to the signing of the same at the selected notary.

The process for making your will begins with the request for the necessary data to grant it, which are:

• First and last names,
• date of birth,
• names of the grantor's parents,
• marital status, name of the spouse if married,
• profession,
• address,
• DNI number,
• names of the children if they exist,
• names of the siblings in case of no descendants.

Once we have obtained all your data, and after an appointment to have in-depth knowledge of your situation, we will recommend the will that best suits your circumstances, drafting it for you and sending it so that you can correct any data or ask the questions you deem appropriate. Once the document is agreed with you, we will request an appointment at the notary agreed with you, in this way, you can choose the day and time that best suits you for the making of the will.

 All that remains is for you to appear at the said notary on the day of the appointment with your national identity document, and finally, proceed to the signing of the will.

At that moment, the notary will ensure that the testator is in full use of their mental faculties and that the content of the will complies with current legality. Once the will is signed, it is kept at the notary and registered in the Register of Acts of Last Will.
