Work after the start of inheritance

After the occurrence of inheritance, it is necessary to carry out a great number of procedures in order to realize the contents of the will. Since the execution of a will often requires legal expertise and conflicts of interest among heirs and testatrixes, it is necessary to designate an impartial third party in advance as the executor of the will in order to realize the contents of the will smoothly. If you designate our attorneys as executors in your will, we will promptly deliver and register the transfer of your property in accordance with the contents of your will when the inheritance occurs. We prepare the necessary documents for probate and file a petition for probate for a will that does not conform to the notarized testamentary form.
