Description
Estate inventory
- The inventory is an essential step in the settlement of an estate.
- The liquidator or, failing that, the deceased's heirs, have a period not exceeding six months from the date of death to draw up the inventory of the estate.
- The deceased cannot exempt the liquidator from drawing up the inventory.
- The result of the inventory enables potential heirs to decide whether or not to accept the succession, and then to take the appropriate action based on their decision.
- The contents of the inventory must reflect the deceased's financial situation as accurately as possible.
- The inventory provides details of the deceased's assets and liabilities, as well as a summary of whether or not the estate is solvent.
- For optimum estate liquidation, make sure you have as much information as possible about the deceased's personal assets and debts before starting this service.

- Establish the value of the family patrimony of each spouse or civil union partner;
- Establish the value of the acquests of each of the married spouses or civil union spouses under the partnership of acquests regime;
- Establish the assets and liabilities of the deceased, regardless of marital status.
- The liquidator may be exempted from making the inventory if he obtains the unanimous consent of all heirs and successibles.
