Each situation is unique and contains its emotional and legal challenges. Through our collaboration with the Family Lawyer, we can help you with a succession. Visit the Family Lawyer's website What does a succession mean? A change of inheritance is a written document of the distribution of the inheritance that the deceased leaves behind. The document must be signed by everyone who has a share in the estate. Where the deceased was married or cohabiting, the succession must usually be preceded by a division of property in accordance with the provisions of the Marriage Code and the Cohabitation Act. If there is only one heir, you of course do not need to establish a succession. In such a case, the sole heir is considered to have taken over the inheritance as soon as the estate register has been registered with the Swedish Tax Agency. Unless the heirs can agree If the heirs cannot agree on the succession, the district court may, upon application from the co-owner, appoint a probate officer. The probate officer primarily tries to unite the co-owners and bring about a voluntary agreement. If this does not succeed, the probate officer executes a compulsory probate which is signed by the probate officer and which must be notified to the estate owners as soon as possible. If the co-owners approve the change, it will take effect immediately. If the co-owners want to blame the change, the action must be brought before the district court against the other co-owners within four weeks of service.
