What can you do with your legacy
As soon as someone in the family has died, others are in most cases entitled to part of the inheritance. In some cases, there is talk of an inheritance or inheritance. In fact, both concepts mean the same thing. It doesn't always mean that if someone in the family has died, you are entitled to a part of the #erfenis - Yes. This depends on how far away you are from the deceased and what is described in the #testament - Yes. #nalatenschap
Explanation of common concepts
- Testator: is the one who died and leaves the property in debt.
- Legacy: the estate is all assets and debts added together.
- Heir: these are the successors of the testator in his wealth (wealth and debt). If the testator is married in community property, the remaining partner is entitled to half of the remaining assets (assets and debts).
- Legate: if the testator had before his death included in the will that a certain good goes to someone or a particular organization, association or charity. That part is then called the Legate. Others cannot claim this.
What choices do you have as heir
Every heir gets the same question with the notary where you have three choices. Do you want to accept the estate, accept it beneficiarily or reject it? Often it happens that the notary does not mention a beneficiary acceptance, but you have the right to choose this as an heir.
