This is the act by which the notoriety of certain relatives of the deceased is accredited, establishing them as heirs who are entitled to the assets of the deceased's estate.

We currently offer the service of drafting the Declaration of Heirs Certificate (when there is no will), and below is the necessary documentation.

Competent Notary: The competent notary depends on the date of the deceased's death. Please consult us if you have any questions.

Required Documentation:

  • Death certificate of the deceased.

  • Certification from the General Registry of Last Wills (If not available, we can obtain it directly).

  • Certificate of residence of the deceased.

  • ID of the deceased.

  • Family book of the deceased (if available).

  • Marriage certificate of the deceased.

  • Birth certificates of all children.

  • Personal details with ID of two witnesses, who will later have to sign the certificate. They must be familiar with the circumstances of the deceased (residency, marriage, children). Witnesses cannot be relatives or individuals who might have, directly or indirectly, any interest in the inheritance.

  • Personal details of the heirs.

  • If the person was widowed, the spouse's death certificate.

Very important: All certificates must be literal (request them as such from the Civil Registry).

Once the request is signed, the period for concluding the certificate is 20 business days.
