Inheritance is property left after the death of the testator, which is divided among the heirs by law in equal parts or transferred by will. To open an inheritance, it is necessary to collect a number of documents and apply to a notary office located in the area of the testator's last residence or in the area where the most valuable share of the property is located.

Instructions
Step 1
It is impossible to become an heir automatically. If one of the heirs does not apply for the acceptance of the inheritance, then all the property is divided equally between the heirs who have accepted the inheritance. You can also give up your share in writing, and simply give up either in favor of another person or persons.
Step 2
A notary is obliged to accept documents and open an inheritance case even if the heir or heirs do not have the necessary documents or part of them at the time of opening. Also, the notary is obliged to facilitate the collection of missing documents and make a request to the necessary authorities to obtain them.
Step 3
From the documents you will need: a certificate of death of the testator, a certificate from the place of residence of the testator, all documents of title to immovable and movable property, an inventory of the rest of the property, birth certificates of the testator and heir, a copy of the marriage certificate if the testator changed his last name, an extract from the BTI, a copy cadastral plan of the property, will, if any.
Step 4
A certificate of inheritance is issued after 6 months, if by this time all the heirs conceived during the life of the testator have been born. If one of the heirs has not yet been born, then everyone will wait a longer period until all the children conceived during the life of the testator are born.
Step 5
The inheritance is divided between the heirs, taking into account the share of each specified in the will, or equally on a voluntary basis. If the heirs cannot come to a common opinion and divide the inheritance peacefully, all disputes are resolved in the Arbitration Court, and a certificate of inheritance is issued only after a court decision on the basis of a resolution.
