क्या एसेटवॉल्ट वसीयत को नोटराइज करने में आपकी मदद करता है?

हम आपको एक नोटरीकृत स्व-प्रमाणित हलफनामे का उपयोग करने की सलाह देते हैं जो आपकी वसीयत को परिवीक्षा के माध्यम से प्राप्त करना आसान बना देगा (जो मृत्यु के बाद वसीयत का आधिकारिक प्रमाण है)। वसीयत को नोटरीकृत करते समय आसान विल आपको सहायता प्रदान करता है।

मुझे वसीयत क्यों लिखनी चाहिए?

वसीयत तैयार करने से यह सुनिश्चित होता है कि आपकी सभी संपत्ति आपकी मृत्यु के बाद आपकी इच्छा के अनुसार वितरित और निपटाई जाती है और परिवार के भीतर विवादों/गलतफहमी या किसी भी कानूनी हस्तक्षेप से बचा जाता है। इसके अलावा, यदि आप अपने कुछ रिश्तेदारों / उत्तराधिकारियों को अधिक हिस्सा देना चाहते हैं और यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहते हैं कि किसी व्यक्ति को आपकी कोई संपत्ति नहीं मिलनी चाहिए, तो ऐसा करने के लिए वसीयत ही एकमात्र प्रभावी दस्तावेज है।

वसीयत में किन संपत्तियों का उल्लेख किया जा सकता है?

वसीयत में सभी एकल/संयुक्त संपत्तियों, संपदा, प्राप्य, और सभी देनदारियों/ऋणों का उल्लेख करना उचित है, जिसमें चल, अचल, अमूर्त संपत्ति और संपत्ति शामिल हैं। चल संपत्तियों में नकद, आभूषण, सावधि जमा, बैंक खाते, बीमा नीतियां, वाहन और आपके सभी फर्नीचर, जुड़नार आदि शामिल होंगे। अचल संपत्तियों में आपकी भूमि, भवन, फ्लैट, दुकान, कार्यालय, प्लॉट, गैरेज आदि शामिल होंगे।

कौन कौन मेरे डेटा तक पहुंच पाएगा?

एसेट वॉल्ट के अलावा किसी के पास आपके डेटा तक पहुंच नहीं होगी। इसे किसी तीसरे पक्ष के साथ साझा नहीं किया जाता है। आपकी गोपनीयता हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है। आपका डेटा हमारे पास सुरक्षित है।
