No. The content of a will is only notified to the State Treasury after the person who has drawn up the will has died.

In principle, the State Treasury should be invited to the inventory of estate in such cases. In practice, however, we have not deemed this necessary in cases where the entire estate has been bequeathed. It suffices to the State Treasury that the contents of the will are made known to the State Treasury after the inventory of the estate. A copy of the estate inventory is a prerequisite for the State Treasury approving the will.

The State Treasury will not examine genealogical records in matters related to wills. The notifier should determine who the content of the will should be made known to. A copy of the extract from the population register concerning the deceased as well as a copy of the extract from the population register concerning one of the heirs must be attached to the will sent to the State Treasury. The extracts must show that the deceased is dead and that the heir is living (copy of registration certificate, if the recipient is a community).

Unfortunately not. Wills are processed in the order they were received. You can deliver the will to the State Treasury in person and leave it at the information desk downstairs to be delivered to the registry office. If you wish to collect the will, you should indicate this in the cover letter to your notification. The State Treasury will notify you when the will can be collected at the information desk.

The content of a will is only made known to the State Treasury if there are no heirs. According to section 1 of chapter 3 of the Code of Inheritance, the widow/widower inherits their spouse, and the State Treasury is not mentioned in the list of secondary heirs contained in subsection 2 of the same section. In this event, the contents of the will do not need to be made known to the State Treasury.

The heirs must always be notified of the will. The purpose of the notification is to ensure that those who stand to inherit have the opportunity to examine whether the will has been drafted in the form provided by law. If there are no heirs, the contents of the will must be made known to the State Treasury.
