View Post in Vietnamese: >> Nơi công chứng di chúc có bất động sản

Dear Editorial Board of Thu Ky Luat,My name is Tan Hung, and I have a query that requires the Editorial Board's advice. My father currently resides in Hanoi but owns a piece of homestead land in Nghe An. Now, my father wishes to go to the notary office to make a will bequeathing the land to my siblings and me. Is it mandatory for him to travel to Nghe An to make the will?I look forward to receiving advice from the Editorial Board of Thu Ky Luat. Thank you very much!Sincerely,Tan Hung

According to Article 42 of the Law on Notarization 2014:

A notary of a notary practice organization is only allowed to notarize contracts and transactions related to real estate within the province or centrally run city where the notary practice organization is headquartered, except for the notarization of wills, documents refusing to accept inheritance that is real estate, and authorization documents related to the exercise of rights regarding real estate.

Thus, the notarization of a will related to real estate is not required to be performed at the location where the real estate is situated.

The above is the advice from the Editorial Board of the Legal Secretary on the place of notarization of wills involving real estate. You should refer to the Law on Notarization 2014 for a detailed understanding of this regulation.

Best regards!
