Inheritance and succession
What is included and what is not promised
An inheritance is a chain of procedures with a six-month tax deadline running from the death. What makes an inheritance expensive is rarely the tax: it is starting late and having to ask for an extension or pay a surcharge.
What it includes: obtaining death, wills registry and insurance certificates; inventory of assets and debts and deed of partition; inheritance tax and municipal capital gains filings; registering the properties in the heirs’ names. What it does not include: it does not include court proceedings to divide the estate where the heirs cannot agree, which is separate.
Documents you will need
- Death certificate and wills registry certificate.
