Representation of heirs in questionable and indisputable inheritance
Inheritance proceedings are commenced on the basis of a notification from the registry office of the death of the testator. The notary who will manage the inheritance proceedings is designated by the local court in the place of the last permanent residence of the deceased.
In the case of inheritance proceedings, the notary, as a court commissioner, first looks into the central record of the wills and inheritance agreements and ascertains whether the testament or will of the deceased is recorded. Thereafter, the person who made the funeral is summoned and a preliminary investigation, which identifies the circle of heirs and the state of the assets and liabilities, begins. The heirs usually decide on the division of the property themselves, but if they do not agree, the acquisition of the inheritance by the inheritance shares is confirmed.
Preparation of inheritance agreements, wills, inheritances, legacy, and deeds of disinheritance
An inheritance agreement is an agreement on the settlement of an inheritance by which the heirs determine which of them will acquire the individual rights and possible liabilities. The agreement is concluded with a notary and is subject to his approval.
The inheritance agreement must include and exactly determine all the property values that each heir acquires.
Additionally, our law firm will professionally tailor the wording of inheritance treaties, wills, legacy, or deeds of disinheritance.
