Patrimony Law

Patrimony law refers to the legal rules that govern the inheritance and transfer of a person's assets, properties, and rights after their death. It establishes how estate assets are distributed among heirs, beneficiaries, or as dictated by a will or relevant laws. This legal framework ensures the orderly transfer of property, protects the rights of heirs, and can involve processes like probate. Patrimony law also considers individual rights to retain or dispose of their estate during their lifetime, and how those rights are affected upon death, aiming to uphold fairness and clarity in succession.
