Inheritance Law
Our Inheritance Law team protects our clients' rights in obtaining certificates of inheritance, renouncing an inheritance, cases of unworthiness to inherit, contesting wills, and reduction (forced-share) lawsuits, as well as in estate division (partition) proceedings among heirs.
We provide effective representation in annulling lifetime transfers made in circumvention of the law (collusive transfers intended to disinherit), filing reduction lawsuits for breaches of the forced share, and partition actions to resolve co-ownership among heirs. Before a dispute even arises, we also offer preventive advisory services on estate planning and drafting wills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Legal heirs may renounce an inheritance within three months of learning that it has passed to them; missing this deadline means the inheritance is deemed accepted.
If gifts made by the deceased, whether during their lifetime or upon death, infringe on your forced share, you can file a reduction lawsuit to recover the shortfall.
Transfers believed to have been made to disinherit heirs can be annulled through a title deed cancellation and registration lawsuit based on collusion.
If no agreement is reached, any heir may file a partition action requesting that the inherited assets be sold and the proceeds divided.
