Frequently asked questions
How much time is there to renounce an inheritance?
For statutory heirs, the deadline is three months from the date they learned of the death. The renunciation is made to the civil court of peace in writing or orally; if the deadline passes, the inheritance is deemed accepted.
Where is a certificate of inheritance obtained?
From a notary or from the civil court of peace. In some situations, for example where one of the heirs is a foreign national, the certificate cannot be issued by a notary and an application to the court is required.
Is there a deadline for a reduction action?
It must be filed within one year of learning that the reserved share has been infringed. In any case, no action can be brought once ten years have passed from the opening of the will, or for other dispositions from the opening of the succession.
