The Civil Code is the highest standard of China's civil law, in which the provisions on wills have been further improved. According to Article 29 of Chapter V of Part II, a will can be written, printed, recorded or videotaped, and the printed will can be recognized as valid. But the following conditions must be met: 1. Printed by the testator himself or his agent under his guidance; 2. Sign, date, stamp or leave fingerprints after printing. It should be noted that printing wills should ensure the authenticity and integrity of the contents, otherwise disputes may arise. For citizens, knowing the relevant regulations, making and keeping wills legally can better safeguard their rights and avoid unnecessary disputes and contradictions caused by inheritance.
Is it necessary to print a notarized will? According to the provisions of the Civil Code, wills should be made in writing, printing, audio recording and video recording. Compared with notarized wills, printed wills are cheaper to make and easier to operate. However, it should be noted that in order to ensure the effective implementation of the will, it is recommended to seek the help of professional legal services when making the will.
Making a will is something that everyone should attach importance to. For printing wills, testators and their families should understand the relevant regulations, formulate and keep them in strict accordance with the regulations. At the same time, you can also seek the help of professional legal service institutions when necessary.
