Dispute in the community of heirs: estate, rights, obligations and sale of the house

Settlement of community of heirs – If a deceased person leaves several heirs and the division of the estate among the heirs is not consensual, the division is determined by law. See our property terms. Since the estate is a joint property, the co-heirs can only dispose of the inheritance jointly. If this joint disposition does not work, each co-heir can demand the division of the community of heirs at any time and pursue it independently. In this case, the individual co-heir can dispose of his or her share in the estate as a whole, but not of his or her share in individual assets.
