Questioner

Hello i have a question our father just passed away and now it turns out he has debts are we responsible for that? and suppose we refuse the inheritance? What are our rights then...are we not allowed to have emotional belongings from him, like photos or something like that? I hope to hear from you soon!

Lawyer

If you do not accept the inheritance, this means that you are not entitled to the benefits, but also have no expenses (debts). You are entitled to emotional belongings, if they have little or no financial value. If you wish, you can contact me directly and free of charge for consultation.

Lawyer

If you reject the inheritance, you are not an heir and you are not allowed to take anything with you. If you do, you run the risk of becoming an heir and therefore also liable for the debts. You are better off waiting to hear who is settling the inheritance and asking him/her if you can have certain things. You can also accept so-called beneficiary. You then accept under the law that you first want to know whether the inheritance is positive.
