What is a Will?
A will is just what its name implies, the request of a person (who asks, in the expectation that their wishes will be honored) to those remaining after him, that they will fulfill his last request. Will!
A testament is formally one’s statement regarding disposition of his personal property at his death, distinguished from a “will”, which controlled disposition of a real property. Today the word “testament” is unnecessary, since a will may dispose of both real and personal property.
Remember! During your life time there are no limits to how many times you can make changes to your Will, but the last one in force prior to death is the one that legally prevails.
From the legal point of view, it is the request of a person to divide their assets according to their wishes, whatever they are, on condition that the will is a proper legal instrument.
Will – Why do I Need a Will?
The truth is simple:
IF you don’t plan to ever leave this world,
IF you don’t want anything to remain for anyone,
IF you don’t care at all what happens after you reach 120,
Then you do not need a will!
What are the problems that can arise if the deceased had no will?
More than once we find families divided because of the division of property where each of the parties “stands on principle” and is not willing to reach a settlement. In the end in such cases the court may have no choice but to order the sale of the asset and the division of the proceeds, something that usually causes financial harm and psychological distress to all parties.

The Will as a charm, a sign of a person’s long life
Our sages, of blessed memory, have said that preparing a Will is a blessing for a long life and not a reason to fear the evil eye.
With wishes for a long and happy life until 120!
