When you inherit:

• When someone dies the first thing to know is if there will. This process is different depending on the country where the will was made, and the legal situation of the deceased.

• Had they not, we must make the declaration of heirs.

• By accepting an inheritance, you will be responsible for the debts that could have died, and respond not only to heredity but to their own property. The workaround is to claim the benefit of inventory.

• The benefit of inventory is the advantage that the law makes available to the Crown so it can accept the inheritance keeping their assets separate from all legal purposes. For more debt than when goods do not have to take care of them.

• The surviving spouse is entitled to the usufruct of one third of improvement, unless specified differently or not any descendants and specialties of local law.

• In Spain to pay the tax has six months to do so within that period, he must pay a surcharge. In other countries of the European community deadlines and fees are different, so fees must be dealt with promptly.

• In several countries, you lose the ability to inherit the property in a very short time, so some business done fast and effective mass is not lost heritage.
