pärimisvarasse

Pärimisvara, often translated as inheritance or estate, refers to the entirety of an individual's assets and liabilities that are transferred to their heirs upon their death. This encompasses all property owned by the deceased, including real estate, financial accounts, vehicles, personal belongings, and any other valuable possessions. In addition to assets, the deceased's debts and obligations also form part of the pärimisvara, and these must typically be settled by the heirs from the inherited assets.

The process of distributing pärimisvara is governed by law, usually through a will (testament) or, in its absence, by statutory inheritance rules. A will allows the testator to specify how their assets should be divided and who their beneficiaries will be. If no will exists, the law dictates the order of succession, typically prioritizing close relatives such as spouses, children, and parents. The formalization of the transfer of pärimisvara usually involves probate proceedings, where the validity of the will (if any) is confirmed, debts are settled, and the remaining assets are distributed to the rightful heirs. The specific laws and procedures regarding pärimisvara can vary significantly between different jurisdictions.
