Probate Lawyer Argentina & Probate Attorney Buenos Aires
Claiming succession is not usually as easy as it sounds. A lot is involved in ensuring your path to claiming an estate or succession is as smooth as possible. If you’ve been searching for a probate lawyer Argentina or in need of a probate attorney Buenos Aires, you’ve come to the last bus stop!
In case you’re wondering, what’s this probate lawyer Argentina going to do? What role is my probate attorney Buenos Aires going to play in my succession claim? Here is a brief on what to expect from your lawyer.
Gathering of all required documents that will facilitate a succession proceeding, from financial statements to ownership certificates and of course birth certificates. Your probate lawyer will guide you in ensuring none is missed. Your lawyer will look at the domicile of the decedent to determine where your succession claim will be heard. The important location is the decedent’s last place of abode before death and not necessarily where his properties and estate is located.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding decedent’s death and if there was a valid written will or not, your lawyer can conclude whether your succession is testate (with a valid written or oral will) or intestate (without a valid will, also includes invalid written will). Where there is a will, your probate attorney Buenos Aires will help you determine whether the will is holographic or notarial.
Once requisite documents have been gathered, your probate attorney will then file the succession petition in court, estate notices in the Official Gazette, ruling acknowledging legal heirs and other needed procedures to bring success to your claim. Estate notices are required to be filed to eliminate any untitled claims.
Limiting your overall expenses by making sure due process is followed. Especially as most people assume they do not need to initiate succession proceedings where there is a valid will involved. They may get to realize this mistake late, after lots of unnecessary expenses have been made.
Peruse the will to be sure it is consistent with laws governing estate, probate and succession. For instance, children are entitled to 4/5 of the decedent’s estate, parents 2/3 while spouse is 1/2. While they can inherit more than this quota, less than it is not allowed in law. This mandatory quota is known as the legitime portion of the estate of the decedent.
Advice you on your options where other beneficiaries are opposed to initiating succession proceedings. According to law, you have the option to singly initiate the proceedings and cause processes to be served on beneficiaries not in agreement.
A probate lawyer Argentina is needed not only during initiation of succession claims, but also before death of the decedent. The lawyer will review your written will and advice on terms to include so rightful heirs are not excluded. You can write as many wills and revoke them too, but the last written one before death will be the valid one.
Your probate lawyer will discuss upfront what to expect in fees and thus save you higher expenses which can be recovered in court after the proceedings. So it’s important you reach a mutual agreement before retaining your lawyer.
After the judge has passed a ruling acknowledging the heirs of the estate, the probate document is then registered by your lawyer which then gives you the right to either sell via the Fast Track system or personal management.
