This guide aims to help you write your will by providing concrete answers to the main questions that arise when it comes to writing your last wishes.

It is the result of an observation : Too many Swiss still neglect to write their wills or draft a document which turns out to be incomplete or unclear, and therefore likely to generate conflicts after death.

We answer 12 essential questions that will help you see things more clearly:

1. Why should I write a will?
2. Are there any things you absolutely need to know before you start?
3. Is it mandatory to go through a lawyer or a notary?
4. Where should I keep my will?
5. How can I change it?
6. What is the hereditary reserve?
7. How do I allocate my available quota?
8. How do I handle donations made during my lifetime?
9. I want to favor my spouse. How do I do this?
10. Why should I appoint an executor?
11. Can I decide what assets will go to my heirs?
12. What will be the tax treatment of my estate? 

IMPORTANT:

It goes without saying that this guide is not intended to replace personalized advice.
