	Although the Imperial legal system recognizes wills, there is no formal mechanism for creating or registering a will. It is down to the individual how they create their will, how they [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notary ~~notarize~~ it] and who they ask to hold the will for them.

	The Imperial Civil Service take no part in the administration of wills as they cannot undertake commitments which might require them to place the interests of individual citizens above those of the Empire or the [[Imperial Constitution]].

	If a person has invested in the upgrade of their [[Resource_overview#Personal_Resource\|~~Personal Resource~~]] they may wish to pass it on to another citizen should they die.

	Once all in-character issues of ownership have been resolved, then the new owner should inform Profound Decisions administration team, either at GOD or by email before the end of the next downtime.

	Sometimes a character may want to instruct that a resource be held in trust by a named individual until a suitable recipient is found (eg a priest's congregation held until a new priest comes forward). In this situation there is no need to update ownership of the resource on the database until the trustee is ready to dispose of the asset. Any resource remains registered with the dead owner indefinitely until it is claimed.

	Any Imperial citizen can make a will bequeathing their estate and belongings to other characters after they die. There is no requirement to have a will, it is purely a personal and roleplay choice.		Any Imperial citizen can make a will bequeathing their estate and belongings to other characters after they die. There is no requirement to have a will, it is purely a personal and roleplay choice. If you are concerned that your estate will not be passed on correctly then creating a will and leaving copies with your character's allies is the best way to ensure that your wishes are followed.

	~~That said there can~~ be a ~~lot of fun roleplay which arises from making and changing wills, administering the making and implementation of wills, receiving benefit from wills and disputes over wills~~ and ~~how they are honoured.~~

	~~To help~~ with ~~this, here are~~ the ~~relevant aspects of admin (OC stuff done at GOD or via email between events) and on field structures (Civil Service and Magistrates) with which IC Wills are likely~~ to ~~interact.~~

	~~To make it easier to integrate into roleplay, some sections~~ are ~~spilt into IC and OC sections~~.

	~~'''NB~~ You ~~cannot use an IC Will~~ to ~~benefit your future characters'''~~		Neither Profound Decisions, nor any of our NPCs, will register or record your will. You will need to make the appropriate arrangements in game.
