In the will, the owner of the property and business specifies how business affairs should be conducted. Who is responsible for the disposal of income immediately after the death of the testator. Stewards can be any person designated by the owner, they do not have to be relatives.

In the case when the relatives, even during the life of the testator, refuse to conduct business, but want to profit from the business, this is indicated when drawing up a will.

The will includes a list of heirs and the size of their share. This law was adopted in order to avoid the creation of funds and trusts by Russian businessmen abroad. He also warns the withdrawal of finances from Russia.

Previously, businessmen specifically created offshore accounts so that the heirs did not lose profit from the business income after the main creator or founder died.

Previously, this period was six months and the heirs could simply lose a business that no one was running.

After the death of the owner, the notary appointed by him, within 3 working days, registers the estate fund as a legal entity. After the registration of the foundation, it and the business can immediately be managed by those whom the deceased appointed in the will.
