Definiţie

Holographic will in Romania

Under art. 1.041 of the Romanian Civil Code, a holographic will must be written, dated and signed entirely by the testator's own hand. The three requirements are cumulative — failure of any one makes the will absolutely void. No notary, no witnesses and no fees are required.

The testator must have full legal capacity and dispose only of the disposable portion (forced heirs' shares are protected). After death, the will must be presented to the notary handling the succession or to the court for formal verification. If authenticity is contested, a graphological expertise may be ordered. While free and discreet, holographic wills are easily lost, destroyed or invalidated for formal defects.
