If the issue of the will has not discussed in advance with the deceased, then its descendants may encounter some difficulties in inheritance of property. It means that they may not know if a will was compiled, and if “yes” is where to look for it.

A will is written in duplicate, one of which is stored in a notary’s office, the second in the testator. The optimal option will be when the deceased former relative kept the will of the house. Its relatives only need to carefully examine the entire apartment of the deceased: cabinets, pantries, mezzanines. Surely the old man put the document in some secluded corner of the apartment. And it is possible that the will will lie with all the documents in the box.

If there was no testament in the house, then you should contact the notary office at the last place of residence of the deceased. It is necessary to take all the documents confirming the kinship with the deceased: a passport, birth certificate, marriage and any others that will help prove family ties. In addition, the notary will demand a certificate of death of the deceased. If the will was compiled in a notary office at the place of residence, then a hereditary case will be opened here.

Not finding a will at the local notary, you can try to look for it in all notary offices of the city. The fact is that the law allows you to draw up a document at any notary, and even in another city. Bypassing all offices is very difficult and long, so you should immediately contact the notary chamber of the subject of the Russian Federation where the deceased testator lived. The notarial chamber is the highest body of all legal offices existing in the district. According to the law, all notaries are obliged to report there about all the transactions made by them at their workplaces.
Article 1127 The Civil Code of the Russian Federation suggests that not only a full -time lawyer, but also other officials can be assured. This is: the head doctor of the hospital, where the patient was treated, the director of the nursing home, the commander of the military unit, the head of the expedition. It is worth contacting them if the deceased before his death was in one of the above institutions.
If a person wants his relatives not to look for a will in the future, then you need to discuss with them in advance its possible presence or absence.
