Succession and Inheritance
We provide legal assistance to clarify inheritance rights, prepare documents, and manage required steps according to the concrete situation.
Succession matters can vary significantly depending on the estate, the number of heirs, the existence of co-owned assets, or the presence of heirs living abroad. Early document organisation helps avoid procedural delays and clarifies which options are realistic for each heir.
What Legal Assistance Covers
- analysis of succession status and heirs' legal position;
- review of patrimonial documentation;
- assistance for co-ownership exit and related disputes, where applicable;
- coordination of legal steps when heirs are abroad.
Assistance may cover both the stage of clarifying the estate and the later steps related to division of assets or resolution of disagreements between heirs.
Useful Documents for the First Discussion
- death certificate and relevant civil-status documents;
- property records, extracts, and any documents relating to the estate;
- identity documents of the heirs;
- correspondence or other records showing the current asset situation and the parties' positions.
