Regarding Inheritance We rarely think of what is to happen to our property and fortune in case of death. Is anybody aware of what happens if no regulations have been settled? Certainly, most people assume that their children and grandchildren are entitled to inherit. But what happens to the estate of those who have not left any children and have not been married? If no testamentary disposition has been left in such cases, usually much effort will have to be made in research in order to prove legal heirs. Often the testator was not interested at all in giving his savings to the Treasury, or in depositing it on trust accounts, where it is not at the relatives  or friends  disposal. Complicated research in archives  retrospective over 100 years and more  is often the only possibility to prove family relations completely. The persons involved usually do not possess full knowledge about their great-grandparents and their descendants. Consequently, in numerous cases, relatives of the second and the third order had to be proved because the testator had missed to set up his last will in a written form and had only stated orally that, for example, his earlier deceased wife s niece who was nursing him would inherit everything one day . Here, an entitlement to inherit cannot be justified without a testament. Please, do not leave it to chance, neither as involved heir nor as future testator.
