The Affidavit of Inheritance is a crucial document in Swiss inheritance proceedings, required when establishing legal rights to inherit property or assets from a deceased person. This sworn statement is particularly important in situations where formal proof of inheritance rights is needed for administrative or legal purposes, such as accessing bank accounts, transferring property titles, or claiming insurance benefits. The document must comply with Swiss federal law, specifically the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB), as well as applicable cantonal regulations. It contains detailed information about the deceased, the declarant, all known heirs, and the estate's composition. The affidavit must be executed before a notary public and may require supporting documentation such as death certificates, family certificates, and asset inventories.
