The unpleasant event of a loss is accompanied by enormous bureaucracy for the settlement of the deceased’s property affairs and the transfer of his movable and immovable property to his heirs.
Upon the death of the deceased, the inheritance is transferred to his heirs, who become temporary heirs, having the choice of either accepting it with a deed of acceptance of inheritance and becoming definitive heirs or renouncing it with a relevant declaration within the legal deadline.
An heir is designated as someone either by intestate succession, or according to the wishes of the heir through a will.
The acceptance of an inheritance is essentially an act by which the heir “solemnly” accepts to inherit what the heir left him.
Until now, acts of acceptance of inheritance were drawn up exclusively before a notary.
After the introduction of Law 5095/2024, and in the context of strengthening the legal material, the citizen is now given the opportunity to submit a declaration of acceptance of inheritance before the registry of the Court of First Instance with a lawyer’s proxy.
Through this new procedure, the declaration of acceptance of inheritance and the relevant act are drawn up by a lawyer, who is in charge of collecting all the necessary documents, while the heir is present only to sign the relevant declaration.
To complete the procedure, the lawyer’s knowledge of inheritance law and special attention are required, in order to complete the entire procedure successfully and in a short time.
Our law firm, having specialized knowledge in inheritance law issues, can guide you in gathering all the necessary records that accompany the inheritance acceptance report (certificate of publication or non-publication of will, death certificate of the deceased, certificate of closest relatives, ENFIA certificate, title deeds of the deceased, topographic maps, etc.), and complete the acceptance of the inheritance for you, while the entire process can be carried out without your physical presence.
