The article is another one in the series on people with intellectual disabilities as heirs. It discusses next steps that heirs need to take after an inheritance is accepted and a court confirmation of inheritance acquisition or a notarial deed of succession certification is received to be able to dispose of the property they acquired from the testator. It presents issues relating to inheritance division based on an agreement between the heirs and inheritance division by a court order, claiming the legitime, reporting the inheritance to the tax office to be entitled to inheritance tax exemption, as well as making an entry in the land register, reporting the acquisition of a car, notifying the homeowner association or the housing cooperative, changing the parties to contracts on services that are currently provided, etc. Practical difficulties that may arise when heirs with intellectual disabilities are taking these steps are listed along with the best methods to overcome them.
