Succession Law

Succession law governs how a person's assets and obligations are dealt with after they pass away. It determines who inherits property, money, and responsibilities, either through a will (a legal document stating their wishes) or under laws of intestate succession (when there is no will). Succession law seeks to honor the deceased's intentions and provide for their family, ensuring a fair transfer of wealth. It also addresses issues like debts and taxes owed by the estate. Understanding these laws ensures that assets are distributed according to legal standards and family needs.
