Legal Intervention in the Inheritance Acceptance Procedure: A New Regulation for Legal Professionals
A new legislative provision introduced in the recent law of the Ministry of Justice with number 5095/2024 brings changes to Article 812 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), specifically regarding the procedure for accepting inheritance, allowing lawyers to actively participate in it. The new regulation allows heirs to submit the inheritance acceptance declaration to the court registry with mandatory representation by a lawyer with power of attorney, after the inheritance acceptance declaration has been drafted by the attorney with power of attorney. The regulation is effective from the date of publication of the law and applies to all future cases of inheritance acceptance.
The possibility of drafting an inheritance acceptance by a lawyer constitutes a significant development, as it allows heirs to turn to specialized legal professionals for the handling of their legal affairs, thus ensuring proper and professional management of the inheritance acceptance process.
Overall, the new regulation marks an important step towards strengthening legal substance and improving legal protection for citizens, encouraging collaboration between lawyers and heirs within the framework of the inheritance acceptance process.
