Make 3 copies of your LWT and have it notarized.
Mail thru registered mail 1 copy to your self. Do not open and keep this.
Submit 1 copy to the National Archives.
1 copy for safe keeping by someone you trust.Last edited by mark_t; January 6th, 2008 at 07:32 PM. Reason: add

Video will kaya, mas madali and "authentic"... Just like any legal document, though, I think witnesses + notary authentication is sufficient.

Who would've thought dying can be that complex in the modern world hehe...
Frankly, the well-off families usually think about such things way in advance and everything is usually settled way before any risk of predictable death creeps up... It's us regular folks who thinks "we don't have much to leave behind anyway" that gets into trouble... The technicalities of the law aren't that friendly to those the deceased left behind hehe.
What if pa-mold nalang natin yung thumb natin for fingerprint "signature" sa mga documents hehe... Parang stamp...
Morbid ko paminsan, sorry hehehe.

Well, from my experience, it's impractical to have a will unless you really have lots and lots of property to leave behind. For notarial wills, there are very strict rules to comply with in terms of form and execution so you'll need to hire a lawyer to help you. What's more, even if you have a notarial or holographic will, you'd have to have it presented to the Court for probate before any of its substantive provisions can be given effect. Again, you'll have to hire a lawyer to do it for you. Although not required by law, people who make wills should designate who their executors will be and who shall administer the estate while probate is going on.
I think it's more important to plan your estate during your lifetime so that even if you die intestate, there will be very little of your assets left subject to the estate tax. There are lots of ways to do it and I guess its all a matter of preference on the part of the person.Last edited by Altis6453; January 9th, 2008 at 05:45 PM.
