Legal support in inventory proceedings, division of assets and disputes between heirs
Inventory proceedings are intended to identify, list, value and divide the assets that form part of an inheritance, especially where there is no agreement between the heirs or where the succession position needs to be formally regularised. We assist with the legal analysis of the inheritance, preparation of the necessary documentation, support with the list of assets, objections, creditors’ meeting, division schedule and other procedural steps. Our work is aimed at ensuring a legally sound division and the protection of the client’s rights.

We assess the heirs, assets, debts, will, documents and legal issues relevant to the inventory proceedings.

What is the inventory of assets?
Is it possible to challenge it if an asset is not included in the inventory of assets?
