Can I do my testament as a video on a social network in France?
<p>Imagine if I do my testament as a video and post it in private on a social network. Will this video be legally usable and will a notary be able to force the company to give him the video?</p>

<p>Is there any things I can do to make my video valid (be facing the camera, showing ID Card, add subtitles...)?</p>

<h1>No.</h1>

<p>In most civil-law countries, including France, a testament must follow very specific forms. It must be either handwritten (holographic will) or confirmed by a notary (authentic will, mystic will). Both possibilities preclude wills as video.</p>
