According to Austrian inheritance law (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ris.bka.gv.at\/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&amp;Gesetzesnummer=10001622&amp;Artikel=&amp;Paragraf=577&amp;Anlage=&amp;Uebergangsrecht=\">\u00a7\u00a7 577 ff ABGB)<\/a>, a last will and testament, such as a will or a legacy, is only effective if it has been drawn up in due form. Therefore, strict compliance with the statutory formal requirements is of crucial importance. Even minor formal errors can lead to invalidity.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-3019fe8e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-32585033\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A last will and testament is a person&#8217;s written declaration of what should happen to their assets after their death. This includes, for example, a will or a legacy. It replaces or supplements the legal succession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-45819ab6\"><picture>\r\n\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Form-der-letztwilligen-Verfuegung-352x198.webp\" >\r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-picture-small\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Form-der-letztwilligen-Verfuegung.webp\" alt=\"Learn about the possible forms of a last will and testament.

It must: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>be <strong>written entirely by hand<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be <strong>signed by hand<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and make <strong>the testator identifiable<\/strong> (even a nickname or &#8220;Your Mother&#8221; may suffice).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Place and date<\/strong> should be indicated, but are not mandatory. Important: Only adults and persons with testamentary capacity may draw up such a will. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-fremdhandige-letztwillige-verfugung\">The Nuncupative Last Will and Testament<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this variant, the text is <strong>not written by hand<\/strong>, but is created mechanically or by another person. The testator must: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>sign by hand<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>add <strong>a handwritten addition<\/strong> (&#8220;This is my last will&#8221;),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and <strong>have three witnesses present at the same time<\/strong>, who:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sign the document,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>write a handwritten addition,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and the witness status is evident from their details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The witnesses do not have to know the content. Special regulations apply to testators who cannot write or read. Here too, the following applies: Only adults with testamentary capacity may use this form.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-gerichtliche-letztwillige-verfugung\">The Judicial Last Will and Testament<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A judicial disposition can be made either <strong>in writing<\/strong> or <strong>orally<\/strong> in court. Any district court is responsible, regardless of the place of residence. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-schriftliche-variante\">Written Version:<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The disposition must be <strong>signed by hand<\/strong> and <strong>personally handed over<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The court instructs, seals, records and keeps the disposition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mundliche-variante\">Oral Version:<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The declaration is made <strong>orally in court<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the court creates <strong>a record<\/strong>, which is sealed and deposited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only the <strong>oral form is open to mature minors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-notarielle-letztwillige-verfugung\">The Notarial Last Will and Testament<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be done <strong>in writing<\/strong> as well as <strong>orally<\/strong> before a notary &#8211; either before two notaries or one notary and two witnesses. The exact rules can be found in the Notarial Code  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here too, a mature minor can only make a will <strong>orally before the notary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-geltung-und-ubergangsregelung\">Validity and Transitional Provision<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current formal requirements apply to all last wills and testaments drawn up after December 31, 2016. Older dispositions, on the other hand, are assessed according to the law in force at the time. For this reason, many wills drawn up before this date continue to be valid in practice.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haufige-fehler-vermeiden\">Avoid Common Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A beer mat will may be valid under certain circumstances if it meets all the requirements. In practice, however, even a small formal error often leads to ineffectiveness, especially in the case of handwritten or nuncupative wills. A timely check by a lawyer protects you and your relatives from later surprises  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ihre-vorteile-mit-anwaltlicher-unterstutzung\">Your Benefits with Legal Assistance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An experienced lawyer will check whether your disposition meets all requirements and help you avoid pitfalls. This is how you legally secure your last wishes and relieve your relatives. <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eWer seine letzte Verf\u00fcgung professionell absichern l\u00e4sst, verhindert Streitigkeiten und sorgt f\u00fcr klare Verh\u00e4ltnisse, wenn es darauf ankommt\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haufig-gestellte-fragen-faq\">Frequently Asked Questions &#8211; FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-972c8b74 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-6b30bb7b \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">What form does a will need to be valid?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>A will must comply with certain legal formal requirements &#8211; depending on whether it was drawn up holographically, nuncupatively, judicially or notarially.
