Procedure for Drafting a Will at a Private Residence
Based on Clause 2, Article 639 of the 2015 Civil Code, it is prescribed as follows:
The procedure for making a will at the place of residence is conducted in the same manner as making a will at a notarial practice organization as prescribed in Article 636 of this Code.
And as per Article 636 of this Code, the procedures are prescribed as follows:
The testator declares the contents of the will before the notary public or the person competent to authenticate of the People's Committee of the commune level. The notary public or the person competent to authenticate of the People's Committee of the commune level must record the contents declared by the testator. The testator signs or affixes fingerprints to the will after confirming that the will has been accurately recorded and reflects their true intent. The notary public or the person competent to authenticate of the People's Committee of the commune level signs the will.
In case the testator cannot read or hear the will, cannot sign or affix fingerprints, they must seek witnesses, and these witnesses must sign to confirm in the presence of the notary public or the person competent to authenticate of the People's Committee of the commune level. The notary public or the person competent to authenticate of the People's Committee of the commune level certifies the will in the presence of the testator and the witnesses.
Respectfully!
