As a legacy you will leave behind not only the assets, but also the entire debts of the deceased (liabilities). If it is a foregone conclusion that the estate is overindebted, the inheritance can be knocked out right away. In many cases, however, the heir is not aware of the precise financial circumstances.
Therefore, there is the option of accepting the inheritance to determine what values are present. You will still have the possibility to limit your liability to the estate or to obtain an estate administration or bankruptcy estate, if you believe or if it is established that the estate is overindebted.
A detailed consultation and a strategy are of particular importance. We are here to assist you.
