We help you with the inheritance settlement.
An inheritance settlement is the process by which an inheritance is distributed among the heirs. The distribution is based on the wishes of the deceased (if known) and the inheritance rules that apply to the case.
We can assist in this process with advice and guidance. We help you and your heirs understand your rights and obligations as heirs, and show you the necessary steps in the process. Furthermore, we can help identify and value assets, manage debts and taxes, and ensure a legally correct and fair distribution of the inheritance.
Inheritance settlement is the process whereby the inheritance of a deceased person is distributed among the heirs in accordance with the will and/or the provisions of the Inheritance Act. Inheritance settlement involves identifying and valuing the deceased's assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets among the heirs.
The settlement of the inheritance usually starts with one of the heirs, or an appointed administrator, gathering information about the deceased's assets, debts and heirs. If there is a will, this must also be taken into account when distributing the inheritance.
An administrator can be one of the heirs, a lawyer or another person that the heirs agree to appoint. The administrator's task is to administer the inheritance settlement and ensure that it is carried out correctly in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Inheritance is calculated by the value of the deceased's assets minus any debts and expenses to be paid before the inheritance is distributed. If there is a will, this will affect how the inheritance is distributed among the heirs. In intestacy, the surviving spouse or cohabitant retains the deceased's assets and debts until a later date, usually until the person dies or remarries.
Obligatory part inheritance is the part of the inheritance that is reserved for the life heirs (children, grandchildren, etc.) and cannot be bequeathed. In Norway, the compulsory part of the inheritance amounts to two-thirds of the deceased's estate, but is limited to a certain sum. This means that the testator (the person making the will) cannot deprive the heirs of their compulsory part inheritance through the will.
If a conflict arises between the heirs, they can try to resolve the problem through dialog and negotiations. If this is not possible, they can seek legal advice and help to resolve the conflict. In some cases, the case ends up in court. A judge then decides how the inheritance should be distributed in accordance with the Inheritance Act and any provisions in the will.

Når en nærstående går bort, står de etterlatte overfor både emosjonelle utfordringer og praktiske oppgaver knyttet til arveoppgjøret. Det er viktig å ha oversikt over prosessen for å sikre en rettferdig og effektiv fordeling av avdødes eiendeler.
Etter et dødsfall utstedes en dødsattest av behandlende lege eller sykehus. Denne attesten sendes elektronisk til folkeregisteret, som registrerer dødsfallet. De pårørende må deretter planlegge gravferden.
Arvingene må avgjøre hvordan boet skal skiftes privat eller offentlig:
Det er flere viktige tidsfrister i et arveoppgjør:
Gjenlevende ektefelle eller samboer kan ha rett til å sitte i uskiftet bo, noe som innebærer at arveoppgjøret utsettes. For å benytte seg av denne ordningen må det sendes melding om uskifte til tingretten innen 60 dager etter dødsfallet.
Når tingretten har mottatt nødvendig dokumentasjon og erklæringer, utstedes en skifteattest. Denne gir arvingene rett til å disponere over avdødes eiendeler og gjennomføre arveoppgjøret.
Arven fordeles i henhold til arveloven og eventuelt testament. Det er viktig å få oversikt over avdødes eiendeler og gjeld, avslutte løpende forpliktelser, og sørge for en rettferdig fordeling blant arvingene.
Arveoppgjør kan være komplekse, spesielt dersom det oppstår uenigheter eller uklarheter. I slike tilfeller kan det være lurt å søke råd fra en advokat med erfaring innen arverett for å sikre en korrekt og rettferdig prosess.
Å navigere et arveoppgjør krever både juridisk kunnskap og praktisk forståelse. Ved å være oppmerksom på gjeldende regler og frister, samt søke profesjonell veiledning ved behov, kan arvingene sikre en smidig og rettferdig fordeling av avdødes eiendeler.
