Prof. Wacław Szybalski, a distinguished scholar, left a bequest for the development of science in Poland. Thanks to the funds he donated, since 2022, the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) has been awarding the Prof. Wacław Szybalski Scholarship. FNP awards it to the winners of the START programme competition who are recognized for their innovative achievements in biotechnology, genetics, and molecular biology.
Who Can Make a Will and How to Do It?
All individuals who are able to express their intent and have full capacity to perform legal transaction can make a will. They must write the document in person, without any assistance. The safest form of a will for the testator, and the one we recommend, is a notarial deed. Making a will in the presence of a notary - whether it takes place in a notary's office or elsewhere - ensures the greatest certainty of implementing the testator's last will. In accordance with the law, a will can also be oral or handwritten and signed by the testator.
