What is the current procedure for registration of inheritance?

Regardless of whether you are an heir under the law or under a will, in order to accept the inheritance, you must submit an application to a notary within the time limit established by law, or to an official of the relevant local government in rural settlements. Inheritance can be registered both at a public and a private notary, depending on the place where the inheritance was opened.

What documents are required to accept an inheritance:

• death certificate;

• passport data;

• ID number;

• will (if any);

• documents confirming family ties (birth certificate, marriage certificate).
