What is a Will?
A will is a legal deed where a person ("testator") disposes of his or her property after his or her death. A will can facilitate the inheritance process and prevents heirs from filing for a Declaration of Heirs in court.
Only will we work with
Open Will: More common and does not require witnesses.
Other types of wills
- Holographic Will: Handwritten by the testator. Involves a tedious probate process in court after death.
- Special will in danger of death: When the testator faces an imminent risk of death, he/she may grant a will before three witnesses of legal age.
- Forced heirs: The forced heirs (children and spouse, or, in their absence, parents), according to the law in Puerto Rico, cannot be excluded without a specific cause.
- According to the 2020 Civil Code, at least half of the assets must go to the forced heirs, while the rest can be freely disposed of.
Inventory of assets
Before making a will, it is advisable to make an inventory of assets and debts, including property, bank accounts, vehicles, loans, among others.
Executor or Executor
The executor is the person appointed in a will to administer and execute the distribution of the deceased's assets, complying with the provisions set forth in the will and applicable laws. Its main function is to ensure that the will of the testator is carried out, to manage the payment of debts and to distribute the inheritance among the heirs.
