Hereditary succession

Hereditary succession takes place if the deceased did not leave a valid will or contract of inheritance. If the testator’s will or inheritance agreement concerns only a part of the inheritance, the inheritance of the remaining part is carried out in accordance with the law.

The legal heirs are the spouse of the testator and relatives specified in the Inheritance Law. For relatives, there are three orders of calling on for inheritance. Second order heirs shall inherit in the absence of heirs of the first order. The heirs of the third order inherit in the absence of heirs of the first and second order.
