Succession waiver by a minor heir

Succession waiver by a minor heir

Description

The mother of a minor heir contacted the Greek Ombudsman, because the tax office of Ilioupoli refused to accept the validity of the succession waiver by the minor heir, taking the view that when coming of age, the heir had to undertake an inventory of the estate. The Ombudsman requested the intervention of the Ministry of Finance, in order to overcome the obstacles raised by the competent tax office. The Ministry agreed with the Ombudsman, thus safeguarding the interests of the minor heir.
