Where the levenstestament is

If there is a levenstestament, you note where the original is. With the notary, in a safe or in a folder you indicate with an ordinary name. The name of the notary, the place and the year of the deed belong with it. A telephone number of the office helps if someone has to call without searching. If a person has a copy, you name that person, with a number. The file stores the route to the document. It does not call for the whole deed to be retyped. Whoever has the route can ask for the original. Without a route someone searches drawers while the deed is with the notary. The route is the content of this page.

One sentence is enough about how it works, because this piece is about where it is kept and not about the whole doctrine. The levenstestament works during life when you yourself cannot act. It ends at death. Add that sentence, so that a reader does not use the document after a death as if it were still a power of attorney. No more explanation is needed here. No list of everything a holder of the power of attorney would be allowed to do, unless you deliberately want the circle to read that. Better the place where it can be found than the contents. The deed itself remains the text. This note is the pointer to the drawer or the office. Whoever wants to know the limits of the power of attorney reads the original, not a summary by you.

Do not copy the levenstestament into the shared layer if you do not want every invited reader to see the powers of attorney. A photo of the deed in the file is a pointer, not the original. The original stays in the place you have named. Ervazo stores where you say it can be found and does not send that to the notary. The notary already has the document, or does not have it. If the office changes or the deed has been revoked, you update the line on that day. A revoked document that remains as if valid sends a reader to a power of attorney you no longer want. Then write that it has been revoked, with the date, and where that is recorded, so that the old route does not remain in force in the text.

A life file is a note for later. It is not a will, not a medical instruction and not advice. The place where the levenstestament is kept is not itself the levenstestament and not a last will. The document stops at death and appoints no heir and no executor here. That appointment belongs in a notarial will. A codicil has its own, strictly handwritten form and is not this place where it can be found. Ervazo does not send the note to a doctor or a notary. After death someone looks for the will, not a continuing power of attorney in this folder.
