Inheritance Law

Inheritance law is the branch of law that addresses how the estate left by a deceased person will be distributed and to whom, as well as disputes arising from inheritance matters.

Disagreements may arise over the estate after a person’s death, which can lead to unrest within the family. In particular, if the deceased made transfers or donations before death that resulted in one party being disadvantaged, the affected party may require assistance in inheritance law. Therefore, in such situations, it is essential to seek help from an inheritance lawyer.

Cases and Proceedings We Handle in the Field of Inheritance Law

Heirs are individuals who have the right to inherit the property of a person who has passed away. Heirs are determined according to the legally established order of inheritance. First in line are descendants (children), followed by ascendants (mother, father) in second place, and siblings and more distant relatives in third place. If the deceased has left a will, heirs may also be determined in accordance with that will.

A will is a written document that specifies how a person’s property will be distributed after their death. A will expresses the testator’s wishes and may contain specific provisions regarding the distribution of property among heirs. A will becomes more valid if it is officially certified by a notary; however, a will written and signed by the testator themselves may also be legally valid.

Disclaimer of inheritance means that the heir does not accept the inheritance. The heir must file a disclaimer of inheritance lawsuit within three months of the date of death of the deceased in order to disclaim the inheritance. The inheritance is disclaimed by filing an application within this period. Disclaimer of inheritance also eliminates the heir’s responsibilities to other heirs; however, the consequences of the disclaimer are binding on the heir.

The distribution of inheritance can be carried out by agreement among the heirs or by court order. The heirs can divide the estate through negotiations. However, if one of the heirs objects, it may be necessary to apply to the court for the distribution of the inheritance. The court decides on the distribution of the inheritance by taking into account the will of the deceased and the provisions of the law.

Heirs inherit the debts of the deceased, so when they accept the inheritance, they acquire both rights and obligations. Heirs are obligated to pay the debts of the deceased within the limits of the inheritance. If the heir accepts the inheritance and the total amount of the debts exceeds the value of the inheritance, the heir may also be required to pay the debts from their personal assets.
