Perimäässä

Perimäässä is a Finnish term that translates to "in inheritance" or "inherited" in English. It refers to the passing of property, rights, or obligations from a deceased person to their heirs. This transfer is governed by law, typically through a will or by intestate succession rules if no will exists. The process of perimäässä involves identifying the deceased's assets and debts, determining the rightful heirs, and distributing the estate accordingly. In Finland, inheritance law is detailed, outlining the rights of spouses, children, and other relatives. The division of an estate can be a complex legal procedure, often requiring the involvement of legal professionals to ensure all legal requirements are met. The concept of perimäässä is fundamental to property law and family relations, ensuring that a deceased person's affairs are settled and their assets are transferred to the next generation or designated beneficiaries. It encompasses both tangible assets like real estate and money, as well as intangible ones such as debts and contractual obligations.
