But what is it exactly? And should you have one yourself? Sch\u00e4fer Notarissen is happy to answer these questions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0873a8;\"><strong>A will for use during your lifetime<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn a last will, also called \u2018last will and testament\u2019 or just \u2018will\u2019, you set out what should happen to your estate following your death. In a living will, you document matters of importance to you during your lifetime, such as what you would like to happen if you can no longer make your own decisions due to illness or an accident. Basically, a living will is a detailed power of attorney executed before a civil-law notary and recording your wishes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0873a8;\"><strong>Document your wishes in good time<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWhat will happen if you can no longer take care of your own interests due to sickness, dementia or an accident?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who will take care of you, your assets or your business?<\/li>\n<li>What are the implications from a legal point of view?<\/li>\n<li>Who will guarantee that the person caring for you is actually acting in your best interest?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The hard realities of the consequences of potential incapacity require careful thought. You never know what might happen to you. So be prepared and set out your wishes in good time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0873a8;\"><strong>An authorised administrator or you still in control?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIf you are no longer able to make your own decisions due to dementia, a stroke or another condition, the subdistrict court can appoint an <a href=\"http:\/\/notarisnodig.nl\/mediation-mentorschap\/bewind\/\">administrator<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/notarisnodig.nl\/mediation-mentorschap\/mentorschap\/\">mentor<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/notarisnodig.nl\/mediation-mentorschap\/curatele\/\">guardian<\/a> to take care of things for you. Sometimes the subdistrict court will be involved in decisions \u2013 when it comes to selling your home or <a href=\"https:\/\/localhost:3000\/estate-planning\/schenkingen\/\">gifting<\/a> money to your children or grandchildren, for example.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667769090822{padding-top: 0px !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;radius&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1439&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]If you would prefer to remain in control of your affairs, you can make a living will that sets out all your wishes in advance.
