An inheritance is the property rights and obligations of the deceased that are transferred to his heirs. Property includes money, jewelry, cars, real estate, fees, etc. And, for example, if an apartment is inherited, then the loan, if any, will have to be paid for it.
Property can be inherited by law and by will. There are heirs of the hong kong mobile database first, second and subsequent lines. The state is the last to inherit property - if the deceased has no relatives or anyone else to whom he could pass on his property.
You can refuse an inheritance. For example, if the amount of debts exceeds the value of the property or if you want to refuse in favor of another heir. You must accept the inheritance within six months from the date of death of the testator.
Only property rights and obligations can be inherited. It is not possible to inherit those rights and obligations that are inextricably linked to the individual, such as alimony, compensation for moral damages, and other intangible benefits.

The new procedure for issuing a certificate of inheritance rights by notaries is approved by Federal Law No. 234-FZ of 08.08.2024 “On Amendments to Articles 59-1 and 91-1 of the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Notaries”.
The amendments came into force on February 5, and now notaries are required to request information through the Unified State Register of Civil Status Acts (ZAGS). The request is needed to verify the fact of state registration of the testator's death, as well as the presence of family relations, which are the basis for recognizing a person as an heir. Relatives of the deceased will be notified of the death automatically, and they will not have to collect a package of documents.
This order of inheritance should, on the one hand, simplify the process of confirming kinship for heirs and reduce the number of legal disputes. And on the other hand, it will complicate the life of fraudsters who may try to inherit using forged documents.
