Certificate for an inheritance in the European Union

You inherit assets in France and need to prove your rights.

Official form to request a European Certificate of Succession and provide succession details and evidence of the applicant’s entitlement to apply. You receive the blank original with the form’s own annexes; it is not the issued certificate and does not replace the required succession documents. The rules apply in European Union countries except Denmark and Ireland.

We help you get the right form, explain what it is for and guide you through completing it. You receive the blank PDF after paying for the service, without needing to log in to the authority’s portal. Include it with other documents in the same individual request and payment.

This is a blank form, not a certificate or a document issued in your name. The person or organisation specified on the form is responsible for completing and signing it; we do not submit applications, book appointments or guarantee approval. The PedirDocumentos fee covers obtaining and organising the form, explaining its purpose and guidance on completing it. Check the applicable version and requirements with the authority.
