Inheritance law

Inheritance law governs the transfer of the estate of a deceased person to their heirs, in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code. The procedures specific to this field may concern the settlement of the succession, the establishment of the status of heir, the division of the estate, the enforcement of testamentary dispositions and other procedures relating to inheritance provided for by law.

Depending on the specific situation, the legal services may include assistance and representation in the succession proceedings, analysis of the entitlement to inherit, drafting of applications and other necessary documents, as well as representation in the notarial or judicial procedures concerning the succession and the division of the estate. The legal strategy is established according to the particular features of each case and the objectives pursued.

Every succession procedure must be analysed in relation to the existence or absence of a will, the number of heirs, the composition of the estate, the existence of inheritance debts and the other circumstances relevant to establishing the inheritance rights. The legal solutions differ according to the facts, the existing documents and the applicable legal provisions.

Procedures in the field of inheritance law may concern both the transfer of rights over movable and immovable assets and the establishment of the shares of the estate, the realisation of the heirs' rights, the division of the assets through partition of the estate or the resolution of disputes between heirs. Depending on the particular features of each case, the succession procedure may be settled before a notary or through the courts, under the conditions provided for by law.

Experience gained in handling succession procedures shows that each case presents legal and patrimonial particularities that call for careful analysis and a tailored strategy. Managing the documentation and the procedural steps allows the procedure to be conducted within a clear legal framework and contributes to protecting the rights and interests of the heirs.
