Frequently Asked Questions
How is heritage discovered in Bulgaria?
The succession is discovered at the time of the person's death. The heirs are determined by law or by will, if any.
Can I disinherit?
Yeah. The renunciation is possible and must be made before a notary within a certain period of time after becoming aware of the inheritance. This is particularly important in the case of an inheritance with debts.
What is included in the inheritance?
Everything - movable and immovable property, shares, bank accounts, debts. Everything passes to the heirs.
How is an inheritance divided between several heirs?
There are two options - voluntary partition by contract or judicial partition if no agreement can be reached. In both cases it is good to have legal support.
Can a will be contested?
Yes, on suspicion of incapacity, abuse, lack of form or tampering. The court considers each case individually.
