It can be submitted in various forms, which leads to different legal consequences. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the declaration of acceptance of inheritance, one says:<br\/><strong>&#8220;I want to accept the inheritance.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One declares before a court or a notary that one wants to <strong>accept<\/strong> the inheritance.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arten-der-erbantrittserklarung\">Types of Declaration of Acceptance of Inheritance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An inheritance is not always a good thing. Often, as a relative, one does not know exactly whether the deceased person <strong>left money or incurred debts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, there are three types of declaration of acceptance of inheritance in Austria:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bedingte\">Conditional <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance is a special option to accept an inheritance in Austria without incurring a personal liability risk for unknown debts. It is regulated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ris.bka.gv.at\/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&amp;Gesetzesnummer=10001622&amp;Artikel=&amp;Paragraf=802&amp;Anlage=&amp;Uebergangsrecht=\">\u00a7 802<\/a> ABGB. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who accepts an inheritance conditionally declares: <strong>&#8220;I only accept the inheritance if it is precisely determined beforehand what all belongs to it.&#8221;<\/strong> This condition refers to the so-called <strong>inventory<\/strong>. The inventory is a comprehensive list of all estate assets, including all debts, which must be drawn up by the court as soon as a conditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance has been issued. <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eEine bedingte Erbantrittserkl\u00e4rung ist empfehlenswert, wenn man nicht absch\u00e4tzen kann, in welchem Rahmen eine Erbschaft verschuldet ist.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unbedingte\">Unconditional<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term and effect of the unconditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance is regulated in \u00a7 801 ABGB. Thereafter, the heir is personally liable to all creditors of the deceased for claims and to legatees for legacies. If the estate assets are not sufficient to cover these, the heir is liable with <g id=\"gid_0\">their entire assets<\/g>. If <strong>only<\/strong> unconditional declarations of acceptance of inheritance are submitted, only an <strong>asset register<\/strong> must be submitted.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone dies, close relatives or other persons can inherit the estate. One possibility is the <strong>unconditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this declaration, the heir says: <strong>&#8220;I accept the entire inheritance without restriction.&#8221;<\/strong> However, this also means: The heir takes over <strong>not only the assets<\/strong>, but also <strong>all the debts<\/strong> of the deceased person <strong>in full<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-negative-erbausschlagung\">Negative (Renunciation of Inheritance)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every inheritance is a gain. Sometimes the estate also involves debts or unclear assets. Anyone who wants to be sure <strong>not to have anything to do with the estate at all<\/strong> can <strong>reject<\/strong> the inheritance. In Austria, this is called the <strong>negative declaration of acceptance of inheritance<\/strong> or simply <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/disclaimer-of-inheritance\/\">renunciation of inheritance<\/a>.   <\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-folgen\">Consequences<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bedingte-0\">Conditional<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who submits a conditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance <strong>is generally personally liable<\/strong>, but only <strong>up to the amount of the inherited assets<\/strong>. This regulation protects heirs from having to pay debts of the deceased person with their own assets. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unbedingte-0\">Unconditional<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who unconditionally accepts the inheritance is liable <strong>not only with the inherited assets<\/strong>, but also with their <strong>own private assets<\/strong>. This means:<br\/>If the inheritance is not sufficient to pay all outstanding bills, debts or legacies, the heir must pay these <strong>out of their own pocket<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This concerns, for example:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creditors of the deceased (e.g. banks, contractual partners, tax office)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Persons who are to receive a legacy from the will<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This personal liability can lead to a <strong>considerable financial burden<\/strong>, especially if one does not know the exact financial situation of the deceased.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-negative-erbausschlagung-0\">Negative (Renunciation of Inheritance)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the renunciation of inheritance, one declares <strong>officially to the inheritance court or the court commissioner (notary)<\/strong> that one <strong>does not want to accept<\/strong> the inheritance.<br\/>One waives:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>all assets (e.g. money, real estate, objects),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>but also all debts and obligations,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>as well as the position as legal or testamentary heir.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who rejects is <strong>legally not considered an heir<\/strong>, one has nothing more to do with the estate.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fristen\">Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Austria, there are <strong>no rigid deadlines as in Germany<\/strong> (there it is 6 weeks).<br\/><strong>The inheritance court itself sets a deadline<\/strong> within which the declaration of acceptance of inheritance must be submitted. If a deadline is set, it must be at least 4 weeks. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gegenuberstellung-der-kosten-der-jeweiligen-erklarungen\">Comparison of the Costs of the Respective Declarations<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bedingte-1\">Conditional<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since one is only liable up to the assets of the inheritance with the conditional one, it is often the most cost-effective in the event of indebtedness of the inheritance, if one considers that one often still receives assets from the inheritance. However, it should be noted that this incurs extra costs for the inventory. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unbedingte-1\">Unconditional<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An unconditional declaration is advisable if one can estimate the debts and these are not too high. If one submits an unconditional declaration of acceptance of inheritance, there are no costs for the inventory.  <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eEine unbedingte Erbantrittserkl\u00e4rung f\u00fchrt auch zur Haftung mit Ihrem Privatverm\u00f6gen, sie sollten sich daher \u00fcber m\u00f6gliche Verschuldung der Erbschaft bewusst sein.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-negative\">Negative <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the negative or the renunciation of inheritance, one has the least costs that one has to spend, but one also waives a possibly high estate asset from the inheritance.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fazit\">Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which type of declaration of acceptance of inheritance is best for the beneficiary depends strongly on the individual case and the indebtedness.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it should be noted that if one has no personal connection to inherited assets and the inheritance is heavily indebted, one should consider whether to submit a conditional or negative declaration of acceptance of inheritance in order to limit one&#8217;s liability as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ihre-vorteile-mit-anwaltlicher-unterstutzung\">Your Benefits with Legal Assistance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an experienced law firm for inheritance law, we offer you:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Legal certainty<\/strong> in an often emotionally stressful situation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clarification of your legal situation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help with the selection of the <strong>correct declaration of acceptance of inheritance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact and communication with the court commissioner (inheritance notary)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support throughout the entire process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faq-haufig-gestellte-fragen\">FAQ &#8211; Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-16a23d97 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-492301fb \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">What is a declaration of acceptance of inheritance?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>A declaration of acceptance of inheritance is the official declaration as to whether one wishes to accept an inheritance or not.
