Succession begins upon a person\u2019s death, when their estate is opened. The successors and their rights are determined during the succession proceedings. You must always contact a notary with succession matters \u2013 even if you are the sole successor or if a will has been made in your favour.

If the bequeather wants the division of their estate to differ from that prescribed by law, it is important to set out these desires clearly and unambiguously in writing.
