Czech inheritance law
Czech probate proceedings
dědické řízení
Czech succession proceedings are conducted within the civil-law court system. A notary appointed by the court typically administers the process. We advise and represent heirs — including those living outside the Czech Republic — throughout the entire proceeding.
