Should the handwritten will contain a unique social security number /TIN/ of the testator
Should the handwritten will contain a unique social security number /TIN/ of the testator
Should the handwritten will contain the TIN of the testator, given that the law does not regulate such a requirement? Is failure to indicate the testator's personal identification number in a handwritten will a reason to refuse its entry?
According to the Civil Code, the handwritten will should contain an indication of the date when it was drawn up and be signed by the testator, and the signature should be placed after the testamentary orders. Nowhere in the mentioned provision is the indication of a uniform civil number of either the testator or the heir, resp. the covenanter.
The permanent address of the testator, as well as the TIN, should be contained in the documents submitted to the application, necessary for the registration of the will, such as a protocol for announcing a handwritten will, tax assessment of the owned properties, declaration by the testator, etc.. They can be established by the registration judge during his inspection.
From which it follows that failure to indicate the testator's personal identification number and permanent address in a handwritten will is not an obstacle to its entry, since the same is established by the other documents submitted with the application.
