Heritage. Opening and management of the inheritance case.
Heritage
When grief comes to the family and a loved one suddenly dies, few people immediately think about the proper registration of the inheritance. The legislation defines a period of 6 months, during which it is necessary to apply to a notary with a corresponding application.
But life is unpredictable and it happens that the heirs miss this deadline for various reasons.
If the heir has not submitted an application for acceptance of the inheritance within the prescribed period, he is considered to have not accepted it. In case of missing the six-month period for accepting the inheritance, an additional period for its acceptance may be established with the written consent of other heirs who accepted the inheritance or on the basis of a court decision.
