Inheritance, explained.

Short articles on the questions families and estate representatives ask. Start with a topic, or search the journal.

Wills

What makes a will valid in Cyprus?

The document matters. So does the way it is signed, witnessed and kept.

Succession

Can I leave my estate to anyone I choose?

A valid will and unrestricted freedom to dispose of an estate are different questions.

Succession

What happens if there is no will?

Intestacy is a legal distribution process. It does not mean that the estate has no heirs.

Probate

Executor or administrator: what is the difference?

Both roles concern the estate, but the source of authority and the application route can differ.

Property

Inheriting property in Cyprus: from entitlement to registration

Being entitled to inherit and updating the property register are connected but distinct steps.

International

Which law applies to an international estate?

Residence, nationality, a choice-of-law clause and the date of death can change the analysis.

Disputes

Can a will be challenged in Cyprus?

Suspicion is not enough. The legal ground, evidence and procedure all matter.

Wills

How do I change or revoke a Cyprus will?

Crossing out a clause or destroying a copy can create uncertainty instead of changing the result.

Probate

What happens to debts and estate money?

The estate is collected and accounted for before the authorised balance is distributed.

Family

What if an heir or beneficiary is under 18?

A child’s entitlement must be protected and cannot simply be paid to any relative.
