Who is entitled to inherit without a will?

In the absence of a will, heirs are called to inherit by law in the order of priority:

• first priority - children, spouses, parents of the deceased;
• second priority - siblings, grandparents of the deceased;
• third priority - uncles and aunts of the deceased;
• fourth line - persons who lived with the testator as a family for at least five years before the opening of the inheritance;
• fifth line - other relatives up to the sixth degree of kinship.

Each subsequent line of heirs receives the right to inherit in the absence of the heirs of the previous line or in the event of their refusal to accept the inheritance or disqualification from the right to inherit.
