We handle the acceptance of the inheritance with the civil lawyer and notary. We choose the correct type (pure and simple, benefit of inventory, right to deliberate or renunciation) based on the assets, the debts, your legal capacity and the deadlines. We identify when a public deed is compulsory (real estate, benefit of inventory, renunciation), validate the deadlines under art. 1004 CC (a 9-day wait) and art. 1014 CC (30 days for the inventory when in possession) and warn you of the ISD (inheritance tax) deadline (6 months).
