Difference between inheritance and will

Heritage

Inheritance refers to the set of assets, rights and obligations that a person leaves behind after his or her death. These assets and liabilities form the estate of the decedent and, in accordance with the law or the will, are transferred to his or her legal heirs or designated beneficiaries. The assets that make up an estate may include property, bank accounts, investments, jewelry and other assets, while debts and liabilities are also part of the estate and must be addressed during the probate process.

Will

A will is a legal document that allows a person, known as a testator, to express his or her wishes and decisions about how he or she wants his or her property and assets to be distributed after his or her death. Through the will, the testator can name the heirs who will receive his property, appoint a guardian for his minor children and establish other dispositions according to his preferences. The will is a powerful tool that grants autonomy to the testator to decide the destiny of his estate, always within the established legal limits.

Holographic will

It is written in the handwriting of the testator, that is, the person who writes and signs it. It does not need to be executed before a notary or witnesses, but in order to be valid it must comply with certain legal requirements established by law.

Closed Will

It is also granted before a notary, but differs from the open one in that the testator writes the will personally and keeps it in a sealed envelope, which must be delivered to the notary. The notary issues a document stating that the testator has granted a closed will.
