Who Is This Service For?

Who Is This Service For?

Requirements

    • Law no. 105/1992 on the resolution of international inheritance cases.
    • Organic Law no. 312/2005, detailing the conditions under which foreign citizens can inherit land in Romania, specifically through inheritance.
    • The Code of Civil Procedure, Article 193, defines the entities responsible for processing inheritance cases​​.
  • Tax Implications: An inheritance tax is imposed at a rate of 1% on the estate's value if the inheritance procedure is initiated more than two years after the death of the decedent. Otherwise, Romanian inheritance tax does not apply​​.
