Cezara was like a light in the dark for me. Working with her finally gave me the clarity after such confusion I was having with legal matters in a foreign country. She is informative, thorough, responsible, professional, trustworthy, kind, communicates well, and speaks/writes perfect English. I was honestly so lost and felt powerless in my legal matter before I met her. From the moment we started working together, I felt I was in good hands, and that hasn't changed over the months since. I can't speak highly enough of her! I have more peace of mind since she has come into my life. Thank you so much Cezara!

Service Details

Inheritance

This service is available across Romania

Who Is This Service For?

This service is directed at both Romanian citizens and foreigners with inheritance interests in Romania.
It is designed for individuals who are either direct heirs, such as family members entitled to inherit assets under Romanian law, or those who believe they have a rightful claim to a portion of an estate based on familial ties.

Requirements

Key Legislation: The inheritance process in Romania is guided by several laws, including:
- 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.

Procedure

Legal Consultation and Representation: Offering guidance on drafting and signing wills in compliance with Romanian laws and representing clients in inheritance disputes or asset division cases.
Document Preparation: Assisting in the preparation of necessary documents for submission to the public notary, as the law dictates that inheritance transfers are within the exclusive jurisdiction of public notaries.
Tax Advisory and Compliance: Advising on the specific inheritance tax requirements and ensuring timely and accurate tax payments to avoid unnecessary liabilities.
Navigating Public Notary Procedures: Facilitating the inheritance process through the public notary in the region or city where the deceased had their last residence, as per legal requirements.

Benefits

Comprehensive Legal Support: From drafting wills to representing clients in court for disputes, offering a full range of legal services related to inheritance.
Tax Efficiency: Guidance on minimizing tax liabilities and ensuring compliance with Romanian tax laws.

What Does This Service Consist Of?

Asset Identification and Valuation: Locating and valuing the estate's assets in Romania.
Tax Payment and Debt Settlement: Ensuring all financial obligations are met before distribution.
Asset Distribution: Facilitating the distribution of assets among heirs in accordance with the Will or Romanian law.
