The Succession Register is kept by the Chamber of Notaries and contains information on wills, succession contracts, estate management measures, succession proceedings, succession certificates, and the transfer of part of the community of the estate.
The details of the will and the succession contract entered in the register are kept secret until the succession is opened. After the death of the bequeather, the relevant data entered in the succession register will become public. Information about the reciprocal will of spouses is provided after the death of one (1) of the spouses.
The data entered in the Succession Register can be consulted at a notary’s office or on the portal of the Chamber of Notaries by knowing the given name, surname, and personal identification code of the bequeather. When contacting a notary, a notary fee must be paid before the information is issued.
