The "post-80s" are mainly because there are old and young, and there are various family relationships, so they must make inheritance arrangements in advance, and the "post-80s" people make a will, and the main property is real estate. The reasons for making a will between the "post-90s" and "post-00s" are varied, and their property virtual property accounts for the majority, and they will be more concerned about their game accounts or their own game equipment.
【Commentary】The "2022 China Will Bank White Paper" pointed out that among the people who made wills, the youngest was a 17-year-old online writer who left the copyright of his work to his family in his will.

The 17-year-old web writer has already written a lot of online works and has a regular monthly income. According to the law, if he is under the age of 18 and over 16 years old, if he has used his labor income as his source of livelihood, then at this time he is regarded as a person with full capacity for civil conduct, and he can write a will.
For him, the most important property is the copyright of online works. Although the copyright of online works does not bring him much income now, it may be one or two thousand yuan a month, but the future is full of imagination, maybe books may be published, maybe it may be filmed into film and television works, this value is very large.

If circumstances change after the will is made, you can modify it, and the law is based on the will made later, even if the circumstances change, it does not affect the realization of the real will of whom the property is transferred. Now that young people have more and more personal assets, it is actually a very good way to make a will in advance and make an arrangement in line with their wishes with the property behind them.
With the development of society, some people no longer regard making a will as something to be done at the end of life, but regard making a will as a life plan to avoid risks in advance.
【During the same period】Beijing people Wang Zumei
As soon as I told my family about the will, maybe they all thought it was too taboo to arrange it when they were older. But I don't think so, no one knows the future risks, I hope to be able to avoid some of my risks in advance when I can arrange it myself, so that I can fulfill this responsibility in the future.
【During the same period】Beijing people Xu Nan
My (will) beneficiaries are my parents, if I go ahead, then my parents may want to inherit my property, let their old people have old arms and legs to run around, I can't bear to do this, I hope they get my property smoothly, which is also a little bit of my heart as a son.
【During the same period】Beijing people Zhen Xianglan
In fact, you think of it as a kind of happiness message for example, I personally will give my family or loved ones, in fact, you will not think of it in an unlucky or taboo place, I pass on my wishes, including my wealth, to the people I want to give the most, I think this is a good arrangement.
