September - Will and Testament Month
We must leave behind the myths surrounding a Will and Testament, since they are not an omen of death nor are they only for those with high purchasing power; on the contrary, they should be considered an act of love and protection for loved ones, and now during the month of September drafting your last will and testament, certified before a notary, will cost only $1,250 pesos.
Remember that in the state of Yucatán, every month is considered a month for drawing up your “Will and Testament” thanks to the “Inherit” program, in which those with an income not to exceed $12,000 may clearly place on record before a notary their last will and testament for $1,000 pesos.
Thus announced Pablo Castro Alcocer, the director of the Instituto de Seguridad Jurídica Patrimonial del Estado de Yucatán, or INSEJUPY (Institute for Patrimonial Legal Certainty**), at a press conference, where he called on the people to secure the fate of their estate (personal wealth) regardless of their age or the amount of their assets.
From 2007 to July of this year, 19.909 people made their Will and Testament: 79% (15,721) did so with a notification of Will and Testament, i.e. prepared and certified before a notary; and the remaining 21% (4,188) were done in their own handwriting (i.e. holographic). The months of September during the same period recorded 4,549 people who drew up their Will and Testament; of those, 1,481 were holographic, and 3,068 were drawn up before a notary. As far as the "Inherit" program, 660 people took advantage of the opportunity to draw up their last will and testament for $1,000 pesos.
This year, 100 state notaries will again reduce their fees in order to facilitate executing a Last Will and Testament for interested parties. If you do not already have a notary, we can assist you.
