Public Notaries: Most Hungarians Make No Will

• 7 Nov 2018 8:20 AM

One out of ten Hungarians do not have a will, and those people who wish to write one are not familiar with the rules, the chamber of Hungarian public notaries said, citing results of a recent, online survey.

The chamber warned of a number of misbeliefs and said for example that two-thirds of the respondents thought that a spoken pledge could replace a written will.

According to the chamber, more and more people approach an expert when they want to make a will, but still there are “too many wills worded at home and hidden in drawers, many of them containing errors”.

The chamber also warned that depositing a will with a public notary does not guarantee in itself that the document is valid.

The survey was made on a sample of 500 adults.
