Defined legal service
Division of inherited property between heirs
Determining the estate and shares, physical divisibility, priority rights, compensation and the agreed or court route.
The problem you need to resolve
- the inheritance was accepted but division is not agreed
- there is an indivisible asset or later heir
What you receive
- division options and legal consequences
- an agreed document
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- assets, shares and encumbrances
- divisibility and compensation
- agreement, negotiation or claim
Establishing inheritance rights before division
- Disputes over heir status, acceptance or the deceased’s title require identification of the correct claim before division.
- Once rights and shares are established, physical division, allocation, compensation and agreed use are assessed under the relevant rules and technical evidence.
- Missing title documents may require the linked inheritance-ownership service.
What we need from you
- inheritance certificates and will
- title and technical records
- valuation
- encumbrance information
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- notarial, technical and registration steps are agreed separately
When this service is not suitable
- the estate or heir’s entitlement remains unresolved
- tax and valuation advice requires separate specialists
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval

Frequently asked questions
Are heirs’ shares always equal?
Under intestacy, unless a will or agreement provides otherwise.
Does living together give all household property?
No. Any priority operates within the heir’s share.
How is an indivisible asset handled?
Agreement, compensation, priority and available court remedies are assessed.
What if my status as heir is disputed?
The underlying dispute and appropriate claims must be identified; a division-only claim may not resolve it.
