FROM NOVEMBER 24, 2025, NOTARIES WILL BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY HEIRS OF THE TESTATOR'S DEBTS
On November 24, 2025, a law enters into force that imposes on notaries handling inheritance cases the obligation to inform heirs about the testator‘s credit debt and its amount.
According to the amendments, the notary must send a request to the Central Catalogue of Credit Histories to obtain information about the credit bureau in which the testator's credit history is stored, or about the absence of the testator's credit history no later than three business days following the day the inheritance case is opened.
The innovations are intended to provide heirs with the opportunity to take a decision in advance about accepting or rejecting an inheritance, depending on the ratio of the value of the inherited property to the amount of debt on loans.
