Your Legacy Goes Beyond the Material: Property Will and Social Will
Your Legacy Goes Beyond the Material: Property Will and Social Will
There comes a moment in life when we ask ourselves:
“What will remain of me when I’m gone?”
The answer is rarely limited to a house, a bank account, or valuable possessions.
What truly matters has no price: the words we never said, the explanations that could prevent conflict, the gestures that would comfort those left behind.
A will, as the law defines it, is a legal document—precise, binding, and formal.
But your real legacy… the one that lives on in the hearts of your loved ones… cannot be contained in a piece of notarised paper.
At ileave, we believe your legacy has two inseparable dimensions:
one that protects your assets, and another that protects your voice.
Property Will and Social Will: Two Sides of the Same Legacy
The property will is the one everyone knows.
It states who will inherit what.
It is signed before a notary, registered, and opened once you are gone.
It is clear, secure, and legally protected.
It answers the question: “What do I leave?”
The social will is different.
It does not appear in the national wills register, but it lives on in the memories and hearts of those who care for you.
It does not distribute property—it shares affection.
It does not say what is inherited, but why you made your decisions.
Here you can include your words, your gestures, your farewell messages, your advice for the future—
that whisper someone will hear at exactly the right moment, and which could change how they live with your absence.
At ileave, we give form and meaning to this social will, store it securely, and ensure it is delivered to the right people at the right time.
The Types of Wills Recognised by Law (and How ileave Fits In)
In some countries, a property will can take different forms:
-
Open will: made before a notary, secure and registered.
-
Closed will: written by you, sealed, and given to a notary to be opened only after your death.
-
Holographic will: handwritten in full, dated, and signed, kept until someone presents it for validation.
Each has its own legal requirements and validity, and none can be made “official” solely in digital format.
However, all can benefit from ileave: a space to draft your will, keep a copy, indicate where the original is stored… and add the element the law does not cover—your social will.
If You Choose a Holographic Will… Here’s How ileave Helps
Imagine writing in ileave what you want to say.
You review it, refine it, and when it’s just right, you copy it by hand, date it, and sign it.
You store the original in a safe place, but you upload a scanned copy to ileave and note exactly where it is.
You name a confidant, so they know what to do when the time comes.
This way, you combine the intimacy of a handwritten document with the certainty it will never be lost.
The True Winning Combination
A property will fulfils the law’s requirement: how your assets are to be distributed.
A social will fulfils your heart’s desire: how you want to be remembered and understood.
At ileave, we do not replace your notary.
We complement them.
We give voice and context to your legacy, ensuring that your heirs receive not only what is legally theirs, but also the words they need to hear.
Because sometimes, the greatest comfort does not come from a figure on a document, but from hearing:
“Don’t worry. Everything is fine. This is exactly what I wanted.”
