Defined legal service
Inheritance audit and notarial administration
Identifying heirs, assets, liabilities, the method and period of acceptance, the inheritance file and documents needed for the certificate.
The problem you need to resolve
- notarial administration must be started or completed
- there are questions about timing, priority, a will, debts or assets
What you receive
- a written risk and action audit
- a personalised notarial file
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- map of heirs, dates, assets and liabilities
- inheritance-file review
- applications and supporting documents
What we need from you
- death record
- kinship, residence or will documents
- inheritance file
- title and liability documents
- 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
- inheritance cannot be accepted conditionally or in part
When this service is not suitable
- an existing will, exclusion or ownership dispute
- a foreign succession requires separate review
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
