Inheritance Proceedings before Polish Courts

The goal of inheritance proceedings in Polish court is to establish the acquisition of inheritance and determine the circle of heirs. This is a crucial process for those wishing to legally acquire property from a deceased individual, in accordance with Polish law.

The procedure begins with the submission of an appropriate application to the court, which is competent based on the last residence of the deceased. For foreigners who have received an inheritance in Poland, it is vital that the court is correctly chosen in accordance with international law provisions.

During the proceedings, the court reviews submitted documents such as the death certificate, a will (if one was made), and other evidence proving inheritance rights. If there is no will, the inheritance is divided according to statutory inheritance rules, which specify the shares for various family members.
