Inheritance law

Estates and partitions organised with clear documentation.

Initial assessment

An estate includes assets, rights, debts and formalities

Before partition, it is necessary to identify the interested parties, the estate assets and liabilities, and any will, gifts or disagreements. Taking the steps in the right order helps avoid incomplete registrations and unnecessary disputes.

Regularisation

Confirmation of heirs, tax reporting and necessary registrations.

Partition

Negotiation, formalisation by agreement or inventory proceedings where there is a dispute.

Family relationships

Prepare an outline of family relationships and known contacts.

Sources of information

Distinguish documented information from details that still need confirmation.

Expenses and payments

Organise receipts and identify who paid each amount.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does an estate include debts?

It can. The estate should be assessed as a whole, including assets, rights and liabilities.

Does confirmation of heirs automatically partition the estate?

No. Identifying the heirs, registering the assets and partitioning the estate are different acts, although some may be handled together.

What happens if there is no agreement?

Inventory proceedings may be required to resolve disagreements about the interested parties, assets or manner of partition.
