An order on account of death, for example a will, is placed in special official custody at the local court during your lifetime. The custody data is transmitted electronically to the Central Register of Wills by the local court or notary and registered there.
For example, if you would like to apply for a certificate of inheritance or make a will, please contact the probate court at the responsible district court.
With a custody order - a so-called last will and testament - parents or single parents can regulate in advance who should represent their minor children after their death.
Would you like to know whether there is a suspicion of soil contamination on your property, such as legacy waste or harmful soil changes? Then you can request information from the legacy waste register from the responsible authority.
