Legal Will: How it works and it's Importance

In Italy, the doctors have been unofficially told to write their ‘will’. A ‘will’ is a ‘deed’ that declares who will own the assets of the person after they die.

If done properly, it can also help in tax savings for the beneficiaries, which mostly happen to be the family members.
