Legal Steps to Accept Inheritance in Cyprus
To inherit property in Cyprus, heirs must follow a specific procedure under Cypriot law. This includes:
1.Locating the will (if any) and checking for probate
2.Appointing a local lawyer or representative (via Power of Attorney)
3.Obtaining a Certificate of Heirs (if no will exists)
4.Handling probate proceedings through the Cyprus District Court
5.Transferring the title deed at the Land Registry
All these steps can be managed remotely with the assistance of a Cypriot lawyer.
Required Documents for Inheriting Property
You’ll typically need:
•A copy of the deceased’s death certificate
•A certified copy of the will (if available)
•Proof of your relationship to the deceased
•Your valid ID or passport
•A notarized and apostilled Power of Attorney
We prepare all required documents and assist in issuing or legalizing any missing pieces.
❌ Can You Refuse the Inheritance?
Yes. If the inheritance includes debts or if you do not wish to receive it, you can formally disclaim it. This must be declared through the Cypriot courts and often within a fixed timeframe. We guide clients on their options and handle all filings on their behalf.
