Law / Last will in Poland - (can a stranger inherit everything?) [40]

Don't know if this helps: Two of my relatives (English) jointly owned a holiday home in Poland. One died and left their half to the other who then had to prove to the court in Poland that there were no closer relatives (circle of participants I think it was called). It took over 2 years

Law / Last will in Poland - (can a stranger inherit everything?) [40]

Well in the case I talk of in my earlier post everyone in the will and close relatives were 'called' by the Polish court to attend if they wanted and give input. The call to attend came via home delivery letters to their UK addresses. And even after the court approved the will there was a period of about a month for appeals to be lodged.

Our experience was that the court is very, very thorough and carefully deliberates. We had a Polish notary acting for us and a court appointed translator -which is law I believe in Poland. As I said earlier, it took two years and was finalised last month.

Law / Poland/England handwritten Will without witnesses [4]

Hi-my (English) father has a holiday home in Poland. We have been told that a handwritten Will signed and dated by him requiring no witnesses will be best for a Polish Court. However, this would not be valid for probate in England as it would not have 2 witnesses.So, does he need 2 Wills? I will be his sole heir.

Thank you.
