Inheritance Law
According to the Civil Code, “inheritance” is defined as the procedure for transmitting the property of a deceased person to their successors. This term includes not only the assets of the deceased, but also the debts and liabilities the deceased held at the time of their death.
An inheritance, therefore, comprises both assets and liabilities.
Inheritance proceedings are filed to partition a deceased person’s inheritance and place the deceased’s legal heirs in legal possession of the succession.
Our firm offers legal assistance to both Romanian and foreign citizens.
Under Romanian law, the inheritance procedure can be made either before a public notary or a court.
1. In Front of a Public Notary
The inheritance procedure will be undertaken in a public notary’s office in the area of the deceased’s last domicile.
2. In Court
If a succession cannot be resolved by a notary (there is no successor, there is no agreement between the heirs regarding the division of property, etc.), our firm can pursue a legal action to partition the inheritance.
Such an action provides a court decision which details the partition of each asset in the inheritance.
