The holographic will is one of the most common forms of will in Switzerland. It allows any person to draw up their last wishes independently, without the intervention of a notary.
Compare in detail the main types of wills, namely the holographic will and public will, by analyzing their advantages, disadvantages and the conditions of validity and legal security they offer. Then, identify the one that best corresponds to your family and financial situation, taking into account criteria such as the complexity of your inheritance, the need for notarial support, the degree of confidentiality desired and any specific wishes to be passed on to your heirs.

Un Types of will is a legal document in which a person (the testator) expresses his last wishes concerning the distribution of his property after his death. It may be holographic or public. The public will is drawn up by a notary.
A holographic will is written entirely by hand by the testator. It must be dated and signed to be valid (art. 505 of the Swiss Civil Code). This type of will is the simplest to make.
The authentic will is drawn up before a notary and two witnesses (art. 499 CC). It guarantees compliance with legal requirements and limits the risks of dispute. It is often used in the case of a complex succession or to avoid any ambiguity in the interpretation of the testator's wishes.
The inheritance pact is a contract signed between the testator and one or more beneficiaries. He must be notarized and signed in the presence of two witnesses (art. 512 CC). Unlike a will, it cannot be modified unilaterally. It is often used to organize the transfer of a business or to guarantee certain rights to heirs in exchange for partial or total renunciations of the succession.
