Inheritance law

A death in the family is usually a difficult time, when formalities pile up on top of emotions. I help you sort out the estate and avoid disputes within the family.

How I can help

  • Confirmation of acquisition of an inheritance — before a court or a notary
  • Accepting or disclaiming an inheritance and liability for debts
  • Division of an estate and ending co-ownership
  • Forced heirship claims (zachowek) — pursuing them or defending against them
  • Drafting wills and disputes over their validity
  • Disinheritance and declaring an heir unworthy of inheritance

Questions

Inheritance law — frequently asked questions.

How much time do I have to disclaim an inheritance?

A declaration accepting or disclaiming an inheritance must be filed within six months from the day you learned that you were called to the inheritance. It is worth not waiting.

Am I liable for the deceased’s debts?

As a rule, yes, but you can limit that liability by accepting the inheritance with the benefit of inventory or by disclaiming it. The right choice depends on the financial situation of the estate.
