Summary/Abstract: The problems of inheritance law change with the needs of society. In the era of new technologies there is a temptation to use them to achieve goals set by law. One of the areas of inheritance law that can be adapted to changing reality resulting from the possibilities created by the benevolence of technology, is the area of the form of the will. The testament, as a formal legal act, must be drawn up in a form prescribed by law. Should this form be based on new technology solutions is a dilemma, which is analyzed by the author on the example of proposals for changes in Swiss law.
