If you have been bequeathed a share of the estate whose value is less than your compulsory share, you may claim the difference up to the full amount of the compulsory share from the other heirs; this is known as the supplementary compulsory share (Section 2305 of the German Civil Code (BGB)).

In that case, you have the choice of keeping it and claiming the difference, or renouncing it and claiming the full statutory share (Section 2307 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). If a bequeathed share of the estate is subject to encumbrances, such as the appointment of an executor or a reversionary interest, renouncing the bequest within six weeks may pave the way for receiving the full statutory share (Section 2306 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). In such circumstances, a specialist solicitor will usually assess whether this opens up or precludes the right to the statutory share before any declaration is made.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-69b9dd7 stk-block-background auto-hyphens\" data-block-id=\"69b9dd7\"><style>.stk-69b9dd7 {background-color:#fffffe !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:20px !important;}.stk-69b9dd7:before{background-color:#fffffe !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-de900f7 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"de900f7\"><style>.stk-de900f7-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;box-shadow:0px 0px 0px 0px #ffffff00 !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-de900f7-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-de900f7-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-4d0932e\" data-block-id=\"4d0932e\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-1b96865\" id=\"bekomme-ich-den-pflichtteil-automatisch\" data-block-id=\"1b96865\"><style>.stk-1b96865 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #5c544d) !important;font-weight:600 !important;font-family:\"Open Sans\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-1b96865 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-1b96865 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-palette-color-2-color stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Do I receive my statutory share automatically?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-ce63022\" data-block-id=\"ce63022\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-ce63022\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-ce-63022-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-ce-63022-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-31122f9 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"31122f9\"><style>.stk-31122f9-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}.stk-31122f9-inner-blocks{justify-content:flex-start !important;}.stk-31122f9 {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f4f4f5) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-31122f9-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk--column-flex stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-31122f9-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-2bd89c5\" data-block-id=\"2bd89c5\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-2bd89c5 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">No. No public authority or court pays out the statutory share of its own accord.

Someone who has been disinherited is rarely aware of the bank account balances or the value of the house. The heirs must therefore, upon request, provide a complete inventory of the estate (Section 2314 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). If the self-compiled inventory is insufficient, a notarised inventory of the estate may be requested, in which the notary independently determines the assets. For property, a valuation by an expert may also be requested.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-05f0ff0\" data-block-id=\"05f0ff0\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-05f0ff0 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The costs of the inventory and the valuation report are borne by the estate; they therefore reduce the value of the estate, but do not need to be paid out of pocket.

If the testator gifted assets during the ten years prior to their death, these are fictitiously added back to the estate for the purposes of the calculation. A gift made in the year immediately preceding the opening of the succession counts in full; for each subsequent year prior to that, one-tenth less is taken into account.

In the case of gifts to a spouse, the time limit only begins to run upon the dissolution of the marriage. And it does not commence at all as long as the deceased continued to make economic use of the gifted property. This applies in particular to property transferred subject to a reserved usufruct or a comprehensive right of residence. A house gifted fifteen years ago may therefore still be included in full in the calculation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-02b3948 stk-block-background auto-hyphens\" data-block-id=\"02b3948\"><style>.stk-02b3948 {background-color:#fffffe !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:20px !important;}.stk-02b3948:before{background-color:#fffffe !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-9fb1d61 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"9fb1d61\"><style>.stk-9fb1d61-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;box-shadow:0px 0px 0px 0px #ffffff00 !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-9fb1d61-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-9fb1d61-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-9e04ae3\" data-block-id=\"9e04ae3\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8df5a19\" id=\"was-gilt-bei-schulden-im-nachlass\" data-block-id=\"8df5a19\"><style>.stk-8df5a19 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #5c544d) !important;font-weight:600 !important;font-family:\"Open Sans\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-8df5a19 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-8df5a19 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-palette-color-2-color stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">What are the rules regarding debts in an estate?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-d30edb4\" data-block-id=\"d30edb4\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-d30edb4\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-d-30-edb-4-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-d-30-edb-4-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-fa41087 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"fa41087\"><style>.stk-fa41087-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}.stk-fa41087-inner-blocks{justify-content:flex-start !important;}.stk-fa41087 {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f4f4f5) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-fa41087-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk--column-flex stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-fa41087-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-db2b464\" data-block-id=\"db2b464\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-db2b464 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The heirs, not those entitled to a compulsory share, are liable for the deceased\u2019s debts.

The heirs cannot delay payment on the grounds that the estate has not yet been distributed or that the assets are tied up in the house. If necessary, they must raise the money, for example through a mortgage or a sale.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-7a21001\" data-block-id=\"7a21001\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-7a21001 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">In practice, however, it usually takes several months before payment is made, as the estate first needs to be assessed and the assets valued. Once a reminder has been issued, the heirs are in default and owe additional interest on arrears. Payment can only be deferred by means of a deferral, which the heir may request in very limited exceptional cases, for example if they would otherwise have to give up the family home in which they live (Section 2331a of the German Civil Code (BGB)). Such deferrals are the rare exception, not the rule.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-bfaea01 stk-block-background auto-hyphens\" data-block-id=\"bfaea01\"><style>.stk-bfaea01 {background-color:#fffffe !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:20px !important;}.stk-bfaea01:before{background-color:#fffffe !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-88d1273 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"88d1273\"><style>.stk-88d1273-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;box-shadow:0px 0px 0px 0px #ffffff00 !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-88d1273-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-88d1273-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-efdac85\" data-block-id=\"efdac85\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-2f6c0fb\" id=\"bekomme-ich-geld-oder-gegenstande\" data-block-id=\"2f6c0fb\"><style>.stk-2f6c0fb .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #5c544d) !important;font-weight:600 !important;font-family:\"Open Sans\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-2f6c0fb .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-2f6c0fb .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-palette-color-2-color stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Will I get money or items?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-cb1fdab\" data-block-id=\"cb1fdab\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-cb1fdab\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cb-1-fdab-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cb-1-fdab-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-cfb6d33 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"cfb6d33\"><style>.stk-cfb6d33-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}.stk-cfb6d33-inner-blocks{justify-content:flex-start !important;}.stk-cfb6d33 {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f4f4f5) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-cfb6d33-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk--column-flex stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-cfb6d33-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5c1dba0\" data-block-id=\"5c1dba0\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-5c1dba0 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Money.

The limitation period begins at the end of the year in which you became aware of the death and of the disposition that adversely affects you. If you become aware of both the death and the disposition affecting you in the year of death, your claim becomes time-barred at the end of 31 December of the third subsequent year.

Essentially, the compulsory share can only be effectively excluded with the cooperation of the beneficiary themselves, namely by means of a waiver of the compulsory share. This is a contract that must be notarised and is usually concluded in return for a settlement payment (Section 2346 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). No one can be compelled to make such a waiver.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks

for example, if the beneficiary has attempted to take the life of the testator or their close relatives, committed serious criminal offences against them, or maliciously breached their duty of maintenance towards the testator. A final conviction to at least one year\u2019s imprisonment without parole may also suffice if it was unreasonable for the testator to allow the beneficiary to share in the estate as a result. By contrast, a broken relationship, years of silence or a dispute over care are not sufficient grounds.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-2584652\" data-block-id=\"2584652\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-2584652 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The disinheritance must be expressly provided for in the will itself, together with the grounds therefor, and the person invoking it \u2013 as a rule, the heir \u2013 must prove those grounds. If the testator had previously forgiven the heir, the disinheritance is invalid. Furthermore, the statutory share is forfeited in the event of a notarised waiver by the heir. Finally, caution is advised when renouncing an inheritance. Anyone who renounces an inheritance to which they are entitled will, as a rule, also forfeit their statutory share. Exceptions apply primarily to spouses and to encumbered shares of the estate; such cases should be reviewed by a specialist solicitor before any declaration is made.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-d6730e8

parent. Very few parents intend to disadvantage their children in this way. Legally, however, the children are disinherited upon the death of the first parent and may claim their statutory share from the estate of the parent who died first.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-70006c2\" data-block-id=\"70006c2\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-70006c2 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">This claim is subject to the normal limitation period. Anyone who waits until the second inheritance may therefore have already forfeited it. Many wills drawn up in Berlin also contain a penalty clause relating to the compulsory share. Depending on the wording, this means that a child who claims their statutory share upon the first inheritance will, upon the second, also receive only the statutory share. Whether it is financially worthwhile to make such a claim is a matter of calculation that is often clarified in consultation with a specialist solicitor.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-a4271de stk-block-background auto-hyphens\" data-block-id=\"a4271de\"><style>.stk-a4271de {background-color:#fffffe !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:20px !important;}.stk-a4271de:before{background-color:#fffffe !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5b3d10b stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5b3d10b\"><style>.stk-5b3d10b-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;box-shadow:0px 0px 0px 0px #ffffff00 !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-5b3d10b-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-5b3d10b-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-1aaaec1\" data-block-id=\"1aaaec1\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-18432d0\" id=\"was-wenn-die-erben-blockieren\" data-block-id=\"18432d0\"><style>.stk-18432d0 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #5c544d) !important;font-weight:600 !important;font-family:\"Open Sans\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-18432d0 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-18432d0 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-palette-color-2-color stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">What if the heirs put a stop to it?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-4977d64\" data-block-id=\"4977d64\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-4977d64\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-4977-d-64-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-4977-d-64-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ff5373a stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ff5373a\"><style>.stk-ff5373a-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}.stk-ff5373a-inner-blocks{justify-content:flex-start !important;}.stk-ff5373a {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f4f4f5) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ff5373a-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk--column-flex stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ff5373a-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-3dd9251\" data-block-id=\"3dd9251\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-3dd9251 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The typical patterns are similar. Information is provided slowly or incompletely, property is valued too low, gifts are concealed, and time seems to be on the heirs\u2019 side. No one should have to make do with a meagre, self-compiled inventory. The law provides a range of tools, from a notarial inventory of the estate and an expert\u2019s report right through to an affidavit in cases of doubt as to the completeness of the inventory.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-6992c22\" data-block-id=\"6992c22\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-6992c22 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">If none of this helps, the claim can be pursued through the courts, often as a multi-stage action, which first seeks disclosure of information and then payment.

A notarial inventory of the estate and a valuation report are paid for by the estate; however, they reduce the value of the estate and, to some extent, the statutory share as well. Your own legal fees are based on the value of the matter in dispute, i.e. the amount of the claim being pursued.

Disputes under inheritance law are often only covered up to the initial consultation, and it is not possible to take out retrospective cover for a dispute that has already arisen. Anyone who does not wish to bear the cost risk themselves can make use of litigation funding. Under this arrangement, a financier covers the costs of enforcing the claim and, if the case is successful, receives a pre-agreed share of the proceeds.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-4b547e9 stk-block-background auto-hyphens\" data-block-id=\"4b547e9\"><style>.stk-4b547e9 {background-color:#fffffe !important;border-top-left-radius:12px !important;border-top-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:12px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:12px !important;overflow:hidden !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:20px !important;}.stk-4b547e9:before{background-color:#fffffe !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-c48bafc stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"c48bafc\"><style>.stk-c48bafc-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;box-shadow:0px 0px 0px 0px #ffffff00 !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-c48bafc-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-c48bafc-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-dbd7d27\" data-block-id=\"dbd7d27\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4036c40\" id=\"kann-ich-meinen-pflichtteil-verkaufen\" data-block-id=\"4036c40\"><style>.stk-4036c40 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #5c544d) !important;font-weight:600 !important;font-family:\"Open Sans\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-4036c40 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-4036c40 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color has-palette-color-2-color stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Can I sell my statutory share?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-63836d8\" data-block-id=\"63836d8\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-63836d8\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-63836-d-8-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-63836-d-8-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-53259ce stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"53259ce\"><style>.stk-53259ce-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;}.stk-53259ce-inner-blocks{justify-content:flex-start !important;}.stk-53259ce {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f4f4f5) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-53259ce-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk--column-flex stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-53259ce-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-11d776d\" data-block-id=\"11d776d\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-11d776d .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Yes. The right to a compulsory share is inheritable and transferable (Section 2317 of the German Civil Code (BGB)), so it can be assigned or sold. In the event of a sale, the purchaser pays an agreed sum and, in return, assumes responsibility for further settlement with the heirs, including the risk of costs. The purchase price is lower than the calculated value of the claim; this is the price for prompt payment without any risk to the buyer.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8639da9\" data-block-id=\"8639da9\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-8639da9 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">This approach is particularly worthwhile when a swift and definitive resolution is more important than the last euro, for example in the case of families in dispute or proceedings that are likely to be protracted.
