To enter into the rights of the heir under the will, contact the notary office at the place of last residence of the testator. If this circumstance is unknown, you have the right to apply to the notary office at the location of the main or the most valuable share of the estate, in this case, at the location of the apartment.

Step 6
The will is announced to all heirs, regardless of whether they are indicated in it or not. Property left by will is divided in accordance with the last will of the testator. If the share of each heir is not indicated in the will, it is transferred to all heirs indicated in the document in equal shares.
Step 7
If the testator at the time of death was dependent on minors, incapacitated or partially capable citizens, including those adopted or taken under guardianship, they have the right to their share of the inheritance, regardless of the instructions of the testator left in the will.
