Legal support in inheritance, assets and succession matters

The opening of an estate can involve asset, family and documentary matters that require careful legal analysis. It is necessary to identify heirs, assets, debts, succession rights and any testamentary provisions that may affect the transfer of assets. We assist with the legal analysis of the succession situation, organisation of the documentation, communication between heirs, regularisation of assets and monitoring of the necessary procedures. Where disagreements arise, we support negotiation or, if necessary, the appropriate legal means to protect the client's rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

We clarify some of the most common questions about inheritances, heirs, assets, debts and succession procedures.

What should be done after the death of a person who owned assets?
It is necessary to identify the existence of heirs, assets, debts and any will. It may also be necessary to deal with the certification of heirs, tax notification and the regularisation of the assets forming part of the estate.
The right to inherit depends on succession law, the degree of kinship, the applicable regime and whether or not there is a will. As a rule, spouses, descendants and ascendants may have significant succession rights.
Yes. An inheritance may include assets, rights, and also debts or liabilities. It is important to assess the situation before the division of the estate, in order to understand the impact of any existing liabilities.

When heirs cannot agree, it may be necessary to resort to legal means to resolve the dispute, including probate proceedings, the assertion of rights, or court intervention, depending on the specific circumstances.
