Declaration of Heirs


📜 Declaration of Heirs "Ab Intestato": Everything You Need to Know


🔹 Inheritance Law

When a person passes away, the inheritance process begins to transfer the deceased's assets and money to their heirs. To make this transfer, heirs must sign an Acceptance of Inheritance, a document where assets are listed and distributed, formally integrating them into the heirs’ estates. This acceptance is essential for heirs to acquire any of the deceased's assets, whether it’s a property, vehicle, or funds.


🔸 Declaration of Heirs "Ab Intestato"

If the deceased did not leave a will, the heirs must obtain a notarized document called the Declaration of Heirs Ab Intestato. This document, following legal guidelines, defines who the legal heirs are, ensuring that the inheritance is distributed according to the law.
