Does arranging the funeral mean that I am accepting the estate?

No. Arranging a funeral or paying the funeral expenses for a deceased person does not constitute acceptance of the estate.

The same applies to certain actions necessary to preserve the estate’s assets, such as maintaining insurance on a property or taking urgent measures to protect the assets. These actions are intended solely to preserve the estate and do not result in the loss of the right to renounce the estate.
