This template contains a notarized application for a certificate of inheritance in the event that there is no will or other testamentary disposition. The template can therefore be used if intestate succession applies.

The application for a certificate of inheritance is necessary in order to obtain a certificate of inheritance. In the case of intestate succession, the accuracy of the information must be proven partly by the submission of (public) documents and partly by an affidavit. Because of the affidavit, the application is usually submitted as a notarial deed. Alternatively, a declaration for the record of the probate court is also possible.

In the application for a certificate of inheritance, the claimed inheritance right, including the inheritance quotas, must be specified precisely.
