Disclaimer of inheritance
Urgent: disclaim an inheritance within the 6-week deadline – certified by a notary and delivered to the probate court.

A disclaimer must reach the probate court within six weeks of learning about the inheritance (six months if you or the deceased lived abroad). We prepare the declaration, book a same-week notary signing for the signature certification and send the original to the competent court by tracked mail, keeping proof of receipt for you.
