The Inheritance Deed is a crucial document in Danish estate administration, used when finalizing the distribution of a deceased person's assets to their rightful heirs. This formal document becomes necessary after the completion of probate proceedings and before the final distribution of assets can occur. The deed must comply with the Danish Inheritance Act and related legislation, including specific requirements for content, execution, and registration. An Inheritance Deed typically includes detailed information about the deceased, all beneficiaries, a comprehensive inventory of assets, tax calculations, and specific distribution instructions. It serves as the definitive legal instrument for transferring ownership rights and can be used by beneficiaries to prove their inheritance rights when dealing with banks, property registrars, and other institutions.
