The custody of the will. There are many ways, but what's the point?

It is important that a will be found after death. To this end, keep the self-written certificate will and secret certificate will in the safe of the bank, or entrust the custody of a trusted third party such as lawyers and tax agents. Starting from July 2020, a will with a certificate in hand can be deposited in the depository of the Law Bureau. The original notarial will is kept in the notary unit, so there is no risk of tampering or loss. However, if the existence of the will itself is not clear, it may not be handed over to the family after death. Keep the original or transcript held by me in a place where it is easy to find, or inform the family of the existence of a notarized will, etc. In addition, there are ways to entrust the original to lawyers and tax collectors. Except for the secret certificate will, it is not stipulated that it must be sealed in an envelope, but if a self-written certificate will is made, it should also be sealed in order to prevent the secret from being kept, altered, tampered with, and defaced. In addition to a notarized will, after the death of the testator, the custodian and discoverer of the will shall immediately go through the formalities of verification with the family court of the testator's place of residence. Is there any way to keep the will? Deposit it with a third party that has nothing to do with the will, such as a lawyer, tax agent, or trusted friend, or deposit it in a bank safe. After the beginning of succession, even the heirs must obtain the consent of other heirs before they can open the safe without authorization. It is also a way to write the facts of the will, if it is a will by hand or a secret certificate, and if it is a notarial will, it is also a way to keep the documents made by the notary in the loan bank.
