What are a Will and Inheritance?
A will is an individual’s expression of their wish to transfer their assets to others after death and it takes effect from the time the testator dies.
Inheritance is the transfer of property from a deceased person to a living person; the property left behind is called the estate. The time of opening the inheritance is the time the owner of the property dies. If a court declares a person dead, the time of opening the inheritance is the date determined according to the principles of the Civil Code 2015. Inheritance is divided into two forms: inheritance by law and inheritance by will:
- Inheritance by law is inheritance according to the order of succession, conditions, and procedures prescribed by law.
- Inheritance by will is the disposition of property, transferring ownership, and property usage rights to others after death through a written document or spoken words.
