Out of every 20 people, only one makes a will: lawyer

Mexico has a very low rate of testamentary culture, revealed Felipe Fernandez Fourzan, attorney litigant, since he stated that out of every 20 people, only one has done his will.

“Campaigns have been carried out by the federal and state governments to promote, year after year, in the month of September what is the month of willwhere notaries provide facilities and above all, affordable prices to process it,” he said.

He explained that the will It is a contract where the will to leave their assets to a certain person or persons is expressed, who may or may not have a blood relationship, that is, a relative or someone who is not a member of their family.

He regretted that there is a lot of ignorance about it, because many people think that by doing their will it means that at that moment he is stripped of his goods and it is not like that.

“The heirs take disposition of the assets after the testator has died, while it is not possible. Even after the death of the testator, a testamentary succession trial must be carried out,” he stressed.

He added that when you don’t leave a willgoods are adrift.

“And that’s when everyone can fight, as long as they have a family relationship, according to the chronological order of who has the right to inherit, but the common denominator marks us what is the wife and children,” he said.

He said that another factor that influences is the cost.

“One will, in the month of September, it oscillates around $1900 more or less, the cost outside the campaign, that is to say the rest of the year, costs from four to five thousand pesos and up. Because all the assets that are going to be tested are taken into account, “he said.

He recommended doing the will to avoid complications between the heirs, as this guarantees that the will of the testator will be fulfilled.

“You have to take into account that it is not a bad thing, but on the contrary, it favors everyone, both the one who testates and the one who receives,” he said.
