Issuance of Inheritance Certificate Without Naming All Heirs
Legislator summary
AI generatedFollowing the death of a husband whose surviving spouse was entitled to the entire estate due to a matrimonial property agreement, the issuing authority improperly granted the widow a certificate of inheritance listing her as the sole heir, despite the existence of collateral heirs. The court reasoned that an inheritance certificate, even if provisionally issued under the condition of a potential inheritance lawsuit, must list all existing heirs, and since the certificate failed to name the statutory heirs, it was factually flawed and therefore subject to mandatory recall by the competent authority.
