Frequently asked questions
What is an estate inventory and when must it be done?
The estate inventory is a statutory meeting at which the deceased's assets and debts are listed in a deed. It must be held within three months of the death, and the deed is filed with the Tax Administration within a month of the meeting.
What does the estate inventory cost?
At Armas Borg the estate inventory costs 590 euros when we also handle the funeral, and 690 euros as a separate service. The price is fixed and does not depend on the size of the estate. Banks and law firms typically charge 750 to 2,500 euros.
Is a lawyer needed for the estate inventory?
No. The law requires two trustees, not a lawyer. Our service includes expert drafting of the deed, guidance on the genealogical reports and two trustees. In complex disputes we recommend a lawyer in addition.
Why have the funeral home do the estate inventory?
When we handle the funeral, we already hold much of what the deed needs: the deceased's details, the family's contact details and the funeral costs, which are deductible for the estate. That makes the inventory smoother and less expensive.
