“Death is not the end. It’s a start.”
The stress of losing your loved one is painful enough, but inheritance disputes can significantly increase that stress on you and your families. SLG can guide you through the process of making inheritance settlement, dividing the property, and dealing with the debt. Letting the lawyers handle these issues would give you time to settle other problems regarding the death of your family.
Property Division
Unless you are the only heir of the deceased, the property should be divided to each heir, according to the will or (if there is no will) to the law. Be careful, because sometimes your emotions of losing a family can make you act in ways you usually wouldn’t, and this applies to other heirs as well. This is why you need lawyers to handle the property division efficiently without being emotional.
Acceptance and Renunciation
When the debt left by the deceased exceeds their property, you can make a choice. One, you can accept the inheritance and pay the debt on your own. Two, you can renounce your right so that you would inherit nothing: no property, nor the debt. Three, you can make “Qualified Acceptance” so that you would inherit the debt only to the extent of the property you inherited. Either way, you would need a lawyer to go through the process.
Legitime
Even though there is a will, maybe you don’t like what’s written on it. Maybe the deceased left the property to other people while neglecting their own family. Maybe the deceased showed favoritism, leaving all their property to only one heir while neglecting the rest. Fear not, because there would still be a legal portion granted for you, as long as you are a legal heir of the deceased.
