Când se pierde dreptul la moștenire? Care e termenul legal și situațiile în care un moștenitor poate fi exclus • Newsweek România

In Romania, the right to inheritance must be exercised within one year of the opening of the estate, as per the Civil Code. There are specific situations that can lead to disinheritance, such as criminal convictions for violent acts against the deceased. Additionally, individuals can voluntarily renounce their inheritance, and failure to act within the legal timeframe may result in a presumption of renunciation. The inheritance can be legal or testamentary, and both forms can coexist. If an heir dies before making a decision, their rights can be passed on to their own heirs.
