View all articlesWhat makes a will valid in Cyprus?
The document matters. So does the way it is signed, witnessed and kept.
Can I leave my estate to anyone I choose?
A valid will and unrestricted freedom to dispose of an estate are different questions.
What happens if there is no will?
Intestacy is a legal distribution process. It does not mean that the estate has no heirs.
