A will or confirmation is an instrument by which one individual announces his goal that his property (regardless of whether self-gained or hereditary) will be disseminated among such people whom he wanted to give after his demise.

To solidify on the aim of heirs, they settle on a family settlement understanding (FSA), an enforceable and substantial instrument.

So as to move the property, one would need to make a different archive of the move of property as for the family settlement agreement.
