FAQ
Why make a will?
Without one, the estate is distributed by the statutory default — which may not match your wishes. A duly made will prevents disputes and gives the family certainty.
Inheritance order vs. probate order?
An inheritance order applies where there is no will and distribution follows the statute; a probate order validates an existing will. Both are filed with the Registrar of Inheritance.
Can a mutual will be changed?
Yes, subject to the Inheritance Law's limits — during both spouses' lives notice to the other spouse is required; after death, substantive restrictions apply.
How is an inherited apartment handled?
After the order issues, rights are registered to the heirs; an estate-distribution agreement is often advisable — also for future betterment and purchase tax.
