Wills And Incapacity

What precautions should you take ?

Drawing up a will to express your last wishes and organise the transfer of your estate is an important step.

However, when a person becomes incapacitated or loses their autonomy, the situation becomes more complex, especially if protective measures are put in place.

Vulnerable people need to be protected from outside pressures that could lead them to distribute their assets in a way that does not correspond to their true wishes.

In Monaco, there are two forms of protection that provide different levels of control over the actions of adults: curatorship and guardianship.

With regard to the specific case of the drafting of a will, an adult for whom a curatorship measure has been implemented may freely make a will, without any prior verification being necessary or any form being imposed.
