What Is an Estate?
Wills in Cyprus
A will is a legally binding document through which an individual (the testator) sets out their wishes regarding the distribution of their assets upon death. A will may also name one or more executors to oversee the administration of the estate, and may include other provisions such as burial preferences.
The will governs the distribution of the part of the estate that is legally available for disposition under Cyprus law, which includes forced heirship rules.
