Waltraud and the safe storage of wills
Waltraud Weltenbummler:
When all this crap with Corona is finally over, I’m going on a long-awaited trip around the world. But before that, I would like to settle my affairs just in case and draw up a will. Do you have any tips on how I should keep the will?
Answer:
Hello Waltraud
You could, for example, keep your will at home in an envelope labeled “Will” with your bank or tax documents. It may also make sense to involve a trusted person and also give them a copy of the will.
However, we recommend depositing the will with the cantonal depository for wills and inheritance contracts. Your will will be stored there securely for a small fee. A will is then automatically opened on your death.
Your municipal administration can tell you which authority in your canton is responsible for storage.
