Inheritance law determines how a person’s estate passes after death. Statutory heirs, appointed heirs, wills and inheritance agreements form the principal framework.
Identifying the estate, obtaining a certificate of inheritance, disclaiming inheritance and dividing assets can involve different formalities and time limits. Historical facts and records are important in reserved-share and collusion disputes.
Main topics covered
