Official safekeeping of the testamentary disposition according to § 2248 of the German Civil Code (BGB)
If you want to ensure that your handwritten will is found and opened in the event of your death, you can place it in special official custody. Custody at the court also protects your will from forgery or loss.
- handwritten will
- informal application for special official safekeeping of the handwritten will
- Birth certificate
Make an informal application for official custody of your will at the local court.
Custody and surrender
The acceptance for safekeeping and the surrender of the respective testamentary disposition are ordered by the judicial officer of the local court and carried out jointly by him and the clerk of the registry. The custody shall be carried out under joint lock and key by the Rechtspfleger and the clerk of the court registry.
Wills in official custody registered centrally
Since 01.01.2012, all documents in official custody must be registered in the Central Register of Wills, which is kept by the Federal Chamber of Notaries. This ensures that they can be found and opened quickly in the event of an inheritance.
Issue of the certificate of deposit
You will be issued with a certificate of deposit for safekeeping. If you deposit a joint will, the other testator will also receive a certificate of deposit.
Return
You can ask for your will to be returned from the special official custody at any time, for example to change it. The will may only be returned to you personally; a joint will may only be returned to you and your other testator jointly.
If a will has been in official custody for more than 30 years, the custodian office determines ex officio whether the testator is still alive. If this is not the case, the disposition of property upon death is opened.
