Is a man's bequest not valid unless it is registered in court?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about a bequest: is it written down during the man's lifetime, or does he bequeath it to one of his sons?

Answer:
Writing it down requires that the bequest be registered, and that is done at the court, before the judge. It must be registered, and if it is not registered, it is not established. Yes.
