In an inheritance dispute the preparation often decides. The focus is which deadlines run, which stage the estate proceedings before the notary acting as court commissioner have reached and which documents are already available.

This self-assessment guides you through the four axes deadlines, procedural situation, documents and community of heirs. It shows where things are pressing and where something is still missing but does not replace an examination of the individual case.

The result is orientation and no binding statement on deadlines. Which deadlines apply only follows from your case. For a deeper view our team is available.

Interactive self-assessment

Which deadlines are pressing and which documents are missing?

First tell us in which role you are asking. Then answer a few questions on deadlines, the procedural situation, documents and the community of heirs. You receive a profile across these axes, your most pressing points and concrete next steps.

Step 1: Your role In which role are you asking? *

Whether you are an heir, assert a compulsory portion or are part of a community of heirs changes the view on the individual points.

Note: This self-assessment is general orientation on the Austrian legal position (legal status June 2026) and does not replace advice in an individual case. It is no binding statement on deadlines, which must be verified individually. For a binding assessment we recommend an initial consultation.
