Will in Georgia: how to prepare the structure before visiting a notary

When is this service needed?

We will help you structure the will of the testator and prepare a project for subsequent personal notarization.

First, the legal purpose of the document is determined, then the language, form of the certificate and the requirements of the presentation authority. This procedure helps to avoid repeated translation or new notarization.

What is included in the preparation

• map of heirs and property
• shares and subassignment
• checking for contradictions
• project for discussion with a notary

What information will you need?

• testator's passport
• heirs data
• property information
• family circumstances and previous wills

Procedure

• Send us the purpose of the document, the details of the participants and the country of presentation.
• We will check the document form, powers, translation and legalization requirements.
• We will agree on the finished text and arrange a visit to the notary.
• After signing, we will submit the document for translation, apostille or legalization, if required.

What to check before signing

• The template does not replace personal expression of will by a notary.
• Mandatory shares and foreign property require separate verification.
• Unclear asset descriptions create disputes.

Frequently asked questions

• Is it possible to arrange everything remotely? — We usually carry out preparation and testing remotely. Personal presence is required if a signature or act is to be performed before a notary.
• Do you need an apostille? — This depends on the country, the type of document and the requirements of the receiving authority. We check this before processing begins.
• Will the template work without verification? — The template helps to collect data, but the final text always needs to be tailored to the specific purpose and requirements of the presenting authority.
