The Notary Chamber submitted a proposal to amend the Inheritance Act.
The changes affect the publicity part of the announcement of wills.
“We aim to shed light on the technical moment when a found will is opened and read. We want to create publicity.”
“The heirs at law should be informed and present. A period of 30 days should be given, they can go to a notary before this period and have their presence certified with a protocol,” explained the chairman of the Notary Chamber, Dimitar Tanev, to Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to him, the will has the value of a notarial deed.
It can be written on wrapping paper with one or five sentences, but have the value of a complex notarial deed of 20-30 pages, he emphasized.
People who create false wills take advantage of the lack of publicity, Tanev warned.
“We are proposing something simple that can be done by amending a text of the Inheritance Act. We are also proposing the restoration of a will that was written on a computer. The point is to have two or three witnesses when writing it. This is a guarantee that the will has not been forged,” the chairman of the Notary Chamber also said.
He added that the notary bears absolutely no responsibility and cannot verify whether a will is authentic or not. The court does not verify this either.
“Many colleagues refuse to accept wills so they don’t get in trouble.”
