Need a certificate of inheritance? iust.ai supports your application

A certificate of inheritance/certificate of heirs is often required when dealing with matters related to the assets, real estate, or bank accounts of a deceased person. The certificate of inheritance is an official court document confirming who has legally become an heir and what share of the estate each heir has.

Banks, authorities, or land registry offices often require this document before granting access to accounts or making changes to the land register. Without a certificate of inheritance or certificate of heirs, it may therefore be difficult to fully manage the estate or assert claims.

The application for a certificate of inheritance/ certificate of heirs is generally submitted to the competent probate court or through a notary. Various documents must be provided, such as the death certificate, information regarding the order of succession, or existing wills. Especially when multiple heirs are involved or the succession is not clear, the process can become complicated.

Many people are unsure which steps are necessary, what costs may arise, or whether a certificate of inheritance/certificate of heirs is even required at all. In some cases, a notarized will or inheritance contract may also be sufficient.
