Will

A will is a formal document and a declaration by an individual of how their assets are to be distributed after their death. To ensure its validity, it is a good idea to consult a professional. The will must meet certain formal requirements to be considered valid:

• It needs to be, for example. Dated and Clearly stated so that it is clear to the reader what the individual's intention was in creating it.
• To be Certified of two certificates of awareness.
• A will can be made at any time after the age of 18 and until the date of death, and it can be changed at any time. However, if heirs exist, there is no obligation to inform them of the will's existence. The will can be registered with sheriff, but that also ensures the document is done correctly, and it is then well preserved and comes to light at the time of death.
• There are many things to consider when creating a will, which is why it is important for people to seek assistance in drafting it.

• If a person has No genetic record has been made. to run his assets to legitimate heir (children and other descendants, parents and siblings of the deceased, the deceased's paternal and maternal grandparents and their children). If again no legal heirs Upon the death of an individual, all of his assets pass to treasury if a will has not been made. The will is therefore a key document, and it is important to consider having it drawn up early.
• It should be noted that according to the law, associations like Sjálfsbjörg not to pay inheritance tax on an inheritance they receive.

Non-profit organizations like Sjálfsbjörg therefore welcome and gratefully accept, with great humility, when people wish to support the organization's activities and advocacy work by leaving a gift to the organization in their will.
