Our Services Include
Revocation and Annulment of Wills with Legal Justification
We provide full legal representation in cases involving the revocation or annulment of wills where doubts arise regarding the mental or physical capacity of the testator, forgery, or failure to comply with legal formalities. We thoroughly examine all factual and legal circumstances to seek either the annulment of the contested will or the judicial validation of a previous one.
Inheritance Lawsuits and Assertion of Inheritance Rights
We responsibly and methodically handle all types of inheritance-related lawsuits—from challenging wills and disputing the validity of acceptance or renunciation, to claiming inheritance shares and restoring the rights of lawful heirs. We manage cases involving co-heirs or third parties, whether they concern real estate, movable assets, or financial claims. With in-depth legal knowledge and respect for family relationships, we approach each dispute with legal thoroughness and strategic precision, defending our clients' interests both out of court and before the competent Courts.
Will Drafting and Legal Support for Valid Testamentary Dispositions
We offer complete legal guidance and substantiated support for drafting valid wills, ensuring the testator’s wishes are respected and future disputes avoided. We advise on all types of wills (holographic, public, secret), explain the legal requirements of each type, and draft the document in a way that secures its acceptance and legal validity. Our legal team ensures every testamentary act is compliant with the law and free of interpretive ambiguities.
Probate and Declaration of Wills as Valid Before Court
We handle the entire process of publishing a will and filing a petition for its declaration as the primary will before the competent Court, in accordance with the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure. Our services include drafting and submitting the necessary application, preparing all required documents, and representing our clients during the hearing. We provide detailed guidance on supporting documents, procedural steps, and the legal implications of declaring a will valid. We ensure smooth and lawful completion of the process, protecting the interests of heirs with full legal coverage.
Renunciation of Inheritance – Legal Handling for Adult and Minor Heirs
We offer complete legal support for renouncing inheritances in cases where the estate includes debts, obligations, or undesirable encumbrances. We guide our clients through the filing process before the competent Court of First Instance, within the strictly prescribed deadline, ensuring all formal and legal requirements are met. Special attention is given in cases involving minors, where court approval is required. Our firm handles the entire procedure, from drafting the petition to collecting the necessary documentation and representing clients in court. Additionally, we pursue lawsuits for the annulment of inheritance acceptance in cases of constructive acceptance, where the renunciation deadline has lapsed and a tacit acceptance is presumed without a clear and conscious intent from the heir. Our legal intervention aims to restore the client’s true intentions and prevent unjust consequences arising from error or misleading omission.
Issuance of Certificate of Inheritance
We undertake the full legal process for obtaining a certificate of inheritance from the competent Court—an official document recognizing heir status. This certificate is essential for completing a wide range of actions related to the estate, such as accessing the deceased’s bank accounts. We prepare the full set of supporting documents, submit the application, and represent the client throughout the process, ensuring prompt and lawful issuance without delays or rejection due to deficiencies.
