Short answer

The Inheritance First Check reviews the starting point for inherited Portuguese property. It helps identify known documents, missing information, possible heirs-related steps and the likely next route. It does not confirm final inheritance rights or complete the inheritance procedure.

What this is for

  • Heirs abroad.
  • Inherited Portuguese property.
  • Unclear documents.
  • Property sale after inheritance.
  • Need to identify the next route.

What we help with

  • Review the inheritance starting point and available documents.
  • Identify likely missing property, civil or heirs documents.
  • Clarify whether habilitação de herdeiros, registry, notary, POA or lawyer involvement may be needed.
  • Prepare a next-stage route and quote before payment for further work.

What is included

  • First-step review of the available inheritance and property information.
  • Missing document list.
  • Initial route recommendation.
  • Quote for any next stage before payment.

What is not included unless quoted

  • Completion of the inheritance procedure.
  • Final confirmation of inheritance rights.
  • Court or dispute representation.
  • Notary, lawyer or registry acts.
  • Tax advice.
  • Property sale completion.

What we need from you

  • Death certificate or basic death details, if available.
  • Known heirs or family information.
  • Any Portuguese property documents or addresses.
  • Purpose of the request, such as ownership clarification, inheritance route or sale after inheritance.

How it works

  • Submit a short request.
  • Provide the documents or property clues you already have.
  • A case manager reviews the starting point and confirms the quote.
  • You receive a first-step summary, missing information list and next-stage recommendation.
