Inheritance
Succession law in Malta is a complex and multifaceted legal landscape that governs the transfer of assets and the inheritance of property upon an individual’s passing. While many individuals would prefer a smooth and amicable distribution of assets to their heirs, disputes can often arise, making it necessary to seek expert legal guidance. At Valletta Legal, we specialize in assisting clients with resolving succession law disputes in Malta, ensuring that their interests are protected and disputes are resolved in a fair and equitable manner.
Understanding Succession Law in Malta

Intestate Succession: When an individual passes away without a valid will, the distribution of assets is governed by specific legal rules.
Inheritance Disputes:
These disputes may arise due to disagreements among heirs, challenges to the validity of a will, or concerns regarding asset distribution.

Managing the estate of a deceased loved one, including settling debts, liquidating and dividing the estate, transferring assets, and addressing tax obligations.
Estate Administration:
Carrying out searches to locate and identify assets held in Malta, which can be crucial for a fair distribution of assets among heirs.
