Inheritance Proceedings before a Polish Notary

Inheritance proceedings before a notary are a procedure that allows for the recognition of inheritance acquisition without participation in a court hearing. It is a faster and less formal method of managing inheritance matters in Poland, available when all heirs agree on the circle of heirs.

The process begins with the collection of necessary documents, such as the death certificate, the will, heirs’ identity proofs, and other documents confirming the right to inherit. Then, all heirs must visit the selected notary to sign the appropriate documents and declarations.

The notary, acting as a public official, thoroughly verifies the submitted documents and ensures that all heirs understand their rights and obligations arising from the will and the law. After successfully completing the verification, the notary drafts a certificate of inheritance, which is a legally binding document that certifies the acquisition of the inheritance.

We ensure that every aspect of the inheritance is thoroughly discussed, and our clients’ rights are properly secured, allowing for the quick and effective transfer of the inherited estate.
