In the final line is the completion of the committee’s work to reform it inheritance lawexpected to hand over her proposal to justice ministry In September.

As the Everydaymost issues that the committee responsible for dealing with Apostle Georgiadis They seem to have been “resolved”, such as the zealous wills that remain with additional security doubles, and there is one last “thorn” to be discussed again in the next and possibly last session of the Commission in September and concerning the debts of heritage.

Suffering to the committee seems to be managing the issue of inheritance debtwhich are also a basic reason renouncement her. In the current context, the inheritance and property of the heir are considered a single property, and therefore in the case of debts, the heir who accepts the inheritance is responsible for its debts and with its own property.

At the table, the proposal was made to remain the legacy as a separate property, from the assets of which its debts would be paid, but a significant number of members of the committee allegedly opposed that there is a risk that the lenders or the debts will never receive their debts.

Two major changes related to the intense heritage, that is, cases where there is no covenant, appear to have been “locked”. The main difference in relation to the current legal framework is that the percentage of the surviving spouse of the Tethaneot, who to date receives 25% will increase and the rest is shared with children.

The committee appears to have reached an increase in the surviving spouse’s rate to 33.3%, leaving 2/3 of the inheritance in children, taking into account, inter alia, that the spouse usually needs older protection.

50% remains the percentage in the case of an indivisible succession, where there are no children and inherit parents, brothers and cousins.

Out of the inheritance, the partners, that is to say, have not entered into a marriage or cohabitation agreement, in the event that there is no covenant, but are enacted, are established in the heir’s home (probably for three years) and some other protective arrangements are examined.

The last “thorn” to be discussed again in the next and possibly last meeting of the Commission, the debts of the inheritance.

Hereditary contracts

Reportedly, its final form is alleged to have received the institution of hereditary contractswhich enters Greek law for the first time and allows the disposer, as long as he is still alive, to freely agree with his heirs on how the property will be shared. Such a change would work positively in the case of businesses, as it is studied, among other things, the free disposal of intangible assets, such as trademarks and copyright.

With the introduction of this institution into our inheritance law, the heir will have the opportunity to reach an agreement on how to distribute part of his property, he will be able to agree with someone the existence of a exchange, but also to exclude heirs under certain circumstances, while establishing a specific procedure. The inheritance contract will be binding for those who sign it, but will provide cases of revocation of the contract, such as the commitment of a heir to the heir.

Active changes are also attempted in the institution of legal fate, that is, the minimum share of the heritage defined by law for the closest relatives (children, parents, spouse), which the heir cannot deprive them of his will. The committee responsible has concluded that anyone who is not included in the covenant will not have rights to the mobile and real estate of the Tthnotos, but there will be a right to compensation.

With the legislation in force, if, for example, the father of two children leaves his property in one of the two and the second is completely omitted by the covenant, he acquires 25% of the house with the legal fate. With the promoted provisions, the house will remain 100% to the one who inherit it, with the one who has been omitted to have the right to ask for 25% of the value of the home in money.
