Inheritance law


We can assist you if you would like to know who will inherit from you, if you would like to draw up a will, amend your previous will, conclude a maintenance, life annuity or inheritance agreement, or if you need representation in probate proceedings. 


It is very easy to make mistakes with inheritance documents (wills, inheritance contracts, maintenance and life annuity contracts, etc.) due to the rather strict formal requirements. Since they usually concern an entire estate or a significant part of it, it is not worth skimping on them. Entrust the drafting of inheritance law documents to a solicitor or notary public. 


What should you do if you learn of the death of a relative or receive a summons to a probate hearing? It is advisable to consult a solicitor, as experience shows that probate proceedings often take unexpected turns (e.g. one of the co-heirs disputes the will or a new person appears who claims the inheritance). 


We can also assist if the deceased passed away outside of Hungary. In such cases, the original copy of the death certificate must be obtained and an official translation into Hungarian must be prepared. With this document, we can initiate the probate proceedings in Hungary.
