Inheritance law

The heirs inherit by the order of succession. The first order of succession is the spouse/civil partner and children, who inherit equal shares. Before the division of the estate, different situations such as the existence of matrimonial property, lifelong support contract or a will may alter the course of the succession proceeding. In inheritance matters, extramarital kinship is equal to marital kinship and full adoption is equal to kinship by blood.
