Almost everyone who has been left out of a will has done the maths in their head at some point. Their widowed mother\u2019s house is likely to be worth around 500,000 euros, there was still 40,000 in the bank account, and there are two children. So a quarter of that \u2013 around 135,000 euros. The figure feels plausible because there\u2019s no getting round that share.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s actually no disputing the share. It\u2019s simply the easier half of the calculation. Months later, the estate inventory arrives \u2013 that is, the statement which the heir must submit regarding the estate. This lists the house at 380,000 euros, because a sister\u2019s lifelong right of residence was entered in the land register years ago. There are 9,000 euros left in the bank account. However, a loan of 65,000 euros turns up, which the family had never mentioned. The 135,000 euros has turned into just over 80,000.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The same applies the other way round. Anyone who finds out that the flat was transferred to the brother three years before the death will end up with a figure well above their initial estimate. The rate was the same in both cases.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
