Statement on inheritance rejection

A statement on inheritance rejection allows an heir to renounce rights to an inheritance. It can be made within six months from the day the heir learned about their entitlement to the inheritance. If the heir does not make any statement within this period, they legally accept the inheritance with the benefit of inventory.

abbreviated copy of the death certificate of the deceased person for whom the statement of inheritance rejection is to be made - Any Civil Registry Office
information whether the deceased person made a will
information about the last place of habitual residence of the deceased person at the time of death and their last place of residence

if court proceedings are pending - case file reference number.
