We provide practical guidance and document/file organization support for the inheritance renunciation process (deadline awareness, supporting documents, coordination of appointments/submission where required), with emphasis on timely preparation.
It is a declaration by which the heir states that they do not accept the inheritance. Timely action and the correct order of steps are important, especially when multiple heirs are involved.
The process is linked to strict legal deadlines. Delay may cause serious consequences (indicatively, the inheritance may be treated as accepted depending on the case).
We organize your documents, explain the main stages, review the checklist, and guide you to the competent court/registry office and the next steps.
In many cases the deadline is 4 months from the time the heir becomes aware of the succession and its legal basis. In special situations (e.g. cross-border cases), a 1-year deadline may apply.
Case reviewJurisdiction depends on the deceased’s last residence/domicile and the applicable procedure. Practical requirements (appointments/e-services) may vary by court.

Waiting until “all documents are collected” may lead to deadline issues. Check the timeline first, then organize documents step by step.
The competent court/authority is not determined only by the heir’s residence. The deceased’s details and the applicable procedure must be checked.
Minors, power of attorney, will, cross-border issues or multiple heirs can significantly change requirements and timeline.
