Inheritance Law · Bulgaria
Inheritance Lawyer in Bulgaria
Bulgarian succession law has strict rules on reserved shares, acceptance of an estate and the deadlines that follow a death. We help heirs in Bulgaria and abroad establish their rights, divide the estate and protect themselves from inherited debts — and we help clients plan an estate before a dispute ever arises.
How we can help
Wills and estate planning
Drafting handwritten and notarial wills, gifts during lifetime, testamentary dispositions that respect the reserved shares of the heirs, and structures that avoid deadlock between future co-owners.
Establishing and accepting the estate
Certificates of heirs, acceptance and renunciation of an estate, acceptance under inventory to limit liability for the deceased's debts, and the strict statutory deadlines that apply.
Reserved shares and contested wills
Claims to reduce excessive wills and gifts that infringe the reserved share, challenges to the validity of a will, and disputes over capacity, forgery or undue influence.
Partition of the estate
Voluntary and judicial partition of inherited property, valuation, accounts between heirs for use and improvements, allocation of individual assets and sale where division in kind is impossible.
Cross-border succession
Applicable law and jurisdiction under the EU Succession Regulation, European Certificate of Succession, recognition of foreign wills and coordination with lawyers and notaries abroad.
