Special Edition

September is the National Month of the Will

September is the National Month of the WillDid you know that in Mexico September is the National month of the will and all Country Public Notaries give discounts for this service?

A Will is a legal instrument that expresses the will of the rightful owner or testator. A Legal Will refers to the act by which a person disposes of all his/her assets or any part thereof to be distributed after his/her death.  A Will allows you to name one or more specific persons, to acquire property rights and property after your death; names the legitimate heirs to your estate.

It is important to make a Will to protect what is ours including our family. A will prevents what we worked so hard to build in our lifetime (business, property, jewelry, home, etc.), to fall into the wrong hands. A will gives us assurance that our property will serve the purpose of our choosing.

If we do not leave a Will, we are leaving the decision about the future of our assets in the hands of a judge, through a complicated process that could last several years. Also, if you do not have legal heirs unclaimed goods may pass into the hands of the State.

Take advantage of the month of September and go to your trusted notary.
