This is a very good question, one that we get asked about very often and have written about on numerous occasions.

Anyone can make a handwritten will in Bulgaria, which will be recognised. If you want it typed, then you need to have it notarised.

The most important thing anyone who owns Bulgarian property to know is that there are "forced heirship" rules in Bulgaria - and if your will acts in contravention to these laws, then the will can be disputed. It's not like in Britain where you can leave your property to anyone (or even dogs and cats) as you wish.

It is imperative that you take sound independent professional legal help. A few hundred pounds now, can save much more later, let alone having to worry about whether the will is legal at such a dreadful time.

Best wishes
