In particular, the following topics are especially important:
- Testamentary dispositions (last wills and testaments) (see notary public)
- Inheritance Contracts (see notary public)
- Division of the estate
- Inheritance claims
- Estate planning
- Execution of wills
- Settlement of the estate
- Support of community of heirs in the settlement of the estate
