Wills can be handwritten and notarized, with no difference in their force and effect. Notarial will, which must be made by a notary in the presence of two witnesses. A personal will, which must be entirely handwritten by the testator himself, must contain an indication of the date when it was drawn up and be signed by him.

Announcement - The person who has a personal will must, as soon as he learns of the testator's death, request its announcement by the notary. The announcement of the will itself is made by the notary, who draws up a protocol in which he describes the status of the will and notes its printing.

Revocation and contestation - The will may be revoked explicitly by a new will or by a notarial deed in which the testator explicitly states that he revokes in whole or in part his previous orders. The will made could be challenged and the aggrieved heir would receive from the favored testator what he is entitled to.
