Inheritance matters often come with emotions and bureaucracy. But with a clear plan and professional notary support, the process can be smooth and straightforward.
1. Collect all required documents
You will need to gather:
- the death certificate;
- documents proving family relationship (birth or marriage certificate, etc.);
- your passport and tax identification number.
2. Contact a notary
Within 6 months after the death of the testator, you must contact a notary at the place of the deceased’s last residence. The notary opens the inheritance case.
3. Submit an application for inheritance acceptance
The notary assists in preparing an official statement confirming your intention to accept the inheritance. Without this step, you may lose your rights to the property.
4. Verification of inheritance property
The notary checks property records — real estate, vehicles, bank accounts — and ensures the legality of ownership. Valuation may be required.
5. Receive the Certificate of Inheritance
After six months, the notary issues the Certificate of Inheritance, which allows you to register the property in your name.
Conclusion: professional notarial assistance ensures legality, transparency, and peace of mind during one of life’s most sensitive periods.
