Frequently asked questions about inheritances

Can an inherited house be sold? When?

The answer is yes, but not straight away. Before putting it up for sale, several legal and tax steps have to be completed:

Accept the inheritance

All heirs sign the acceptance deed before a notary. If there is a will, it is attached; if not, a declaration of heirs is made.

Settle the inheritance tax

Each heir settles it according to their share. The amount varies by region and by degree of kinship.

Register the property

Once the tax is paid, the home is registered in the name of the new owners. Only then can it be sold.

Nuvilion supports you: our legal team coordinates all these steps so you do not have to deal with them.

How much is the inherited home really worth?

It is easy to get this wrong here:

What the portals show does not always reflect the real market value
What you think it is worth may be above or below what people are actually paying
A badly set price leaves the house sitting for months or leads you to undersell

Our solution: data-based valuation. We analyse the real closed sales in your area to give you the price that maximises the outcome without dragging out the sale.

And if there are several heirs who do not agree?

This is one of the most delicate points. With more than one heir, the sale can only go ahead if everyone agrees.

The most common situations:

Everyone wants to sell: the process is simple. Price and terms are agreed and it is formalised
One wants to keep the house: they can buy out the others through an extinction of joint ownership
There is no agreement: mediation is needed. If that is not possible, the courts are an option (costly and slow)

Nuvilion as an impartial mediator: we help the conversation along, bring objective data and look for a way out that works for everyone.

What taxes are there on inheriting... and on selling?

Inheritance tax

Paid on inheriting. It depends on the value of the property, your relationship with the deceased and the regional rules.

Municipal capital gains

Paid to the town hall when ownership changes. It is calculated on the increase in land value.

Income tax (on selling)

The tax office charges the gain between the inheritance value and the sale value. It is declared in the return.
