A Certificate of Heirship (Erbbescheinigung/Certificat d'h茅ritier) is a crucial legal document in Swiss inheritance law that establishes the legitimate heirs of a deceased person and their respective inheritance rights. This official certificate is required by banks, land registries, and other institutions to allow heirs to access and manage inherited assets. The document is issued by competent cantonal authorities in accordance with the Swiss Civil Code and must include detailed information about the deceased, the legal basis of succession (whether statutory or testamentary), and all qualifying heirs with their respective shares. It serves as conclusive evidence of inheritance rights unless challenged through legal proceedings and is particularly important for estate administration, asset transfers, and property registrations.
