perintövarat

Perintövarat refers to the assets and liabilities left behind by a deceased person that are subject to inheritance. These encompass everything the deceased owned, including real estate, vehicles, financial accounts, personal belongings, and any outstanding debts such as mortgages, loans, or unpaid bills. The process of handling perintövarat is governed by inheritance law, which dictates how these assets are to be identified, valued, and distributed among the rightful heirs.

Upon a person's death, an inventory of their perintövarat is typically compiled. This inventory serves as the basis for calculating the inheritance tax, if applicable, and for dividing the estate. The heirs have the right to inherit these assets, but they also become responsible for any debts associated with the estate. It is possible for heirs to disclaim their inheritance if the liabilities outweigh the assets. The administration and distribution of perintövarat can be a complex process, often involving legal and financial professionals to ensure all legal requirements are met and the estate is settled correctly according to the deceased's will or statutory inheritance rules.
