Heritage. How do I know what I inherit after the death of a relative?

If you are the heir of a relative – mother, father, husband, grandparents, children, sister, brother, etc., it is advisable to make a multifaceted and thorough study of the remaining rights and obligations, assets and liabilities, the so-called succession estate, in order to decide whether to accept the inheritance, to renounce the inheritance or to accept the inheritance by inventory.
