Succession law principles

Introduction to estate succession concepts — educational, not legal advice.

Succession law defines how assets pass after death — forced heirship share, will, probate inventory, and division. Knowing basic principles helps you speak clearly with a lawyer.

Does not replace legal counsel.

  • Probate inventory — procedure to identify and transfer assets.
  • Spousal share — spouse's quota under the applicable marital property regime.
