Reader Minh Huong is grappling with a difficult legal question following the sudden death of her husband. She wants to know if his final words, spoken to medical personnel during an emergency, can be considered a legally valid will.

Minh Huong recounted that she was far away and did not reach her husband before he passed. Upon her arrival at the hospital, he was already gone. Overwhelmed by grief, she was unable to focus on anything else.

The day after his funeral, the doctor and nurse who attended to him at the accident scene contacted her. They relayed his deathbed statement: he wished to leave all his assets to her. Minh Huong is deeply grateful he thought of her future, even in his final moments, despite the tragic circumstances.

According to Minh Huong, her husband's assets include the family home where she and their children reside, a savings account in his name, and a plot of land he acquired before their marriage.

She seeks clarification on the specific conditions required for her husband's dying wish to be legally recognized as a will, ensuring her future and that of their children.
