Inheritance Acceptance Deadline & Restoration

Inheritance acceptance and deadline support in Georgia: wills, opening of succession, heirs, debts, notarial steps and court remedies.

Before acting, verify the legal basis, deadline and consistency of the documents. This guide is a preparation framework, not an individual legal opinion.

Step-by-step process

1. Establish death, opening of succession and relationship
2. Investigate the will, assets, debts and other heirs
3. Check acts of acceptance, the notarial file and deadline
4. Prepare an agreement, application or court claim where needed

Required-document checklist

• Death certificate and relationship records
• Will, notarial statement or evidence of acceptance
• Property, account, debt and mortgage information
• Other-heir information and translations of foreign documents

Authorities, translation and representation

The specific procedure determines the authority, personal-appearance requirement, power of attorney, notarisation, certified translation, apostille or legalisation. A foreign document should be assessed under both its country of origin and the receiving authority's rules.

Key risks and common mistakes

• Not calendaring the acceptance period
• Assessing assets without debts or mortgages
• Losing the original will or notarial record
• Ignoring form requirements for a foreign heir’s documents
