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.
If the person designated by the parents as guardian cannot become guardian for certain reasons, the family court will select another suitable person and appoint him or her as guardian.
Succession can also be regulated by drawing up an inheritance contract. This is particularly interesting for unmarried couples, as they cannot inherit according to the statutory succession or draw up a joint will.
