Inheritance disputes in Georgia: six-month period, wills, shares and property registration
A Georgian estate should be treated as one file of assets and liabilities. Article 1424 of the Civil Code provides a six-month period from opening of the estate for acceptance; acceptance may occur through a notarial declaration or legally recognised factual possession. Delay, will validity, intestate order, compulsory shares, asset ownership and debt disputes require individual legal and evidential analysis.
