Solicitor for Inheritance Law in Luqa

I’m entitled to inherit a share of a relative’s estate in Malta, but the estate actually includes significant debts along with the assets, and I’m seriously considering whether it would be better to simply not accept the inheritance at all rather than take on potential liability. Is renouncing an inheritance actually possible under Maltese law?

I’m about to inherit property in Malta from a family member’s estate, and I’m trying to understand what tax implications this actually has. I’ve heard conflicting things about whether Malta even has an inheritance tax as such, or whether the relevant cost is actually something else entirely.

A family member in Malta recently passed away, and the will that has emerged seems very different from what we understood their wishes to be, and we have genuine concerns it may have been signed while they were under undue pressure from another family member who was heavily involved in their care in their final months. Can a will actually be challenged on these grounds?

I’ve inherited a property in Malta from a recently deceased relative, and I’d like to sell it relatively soon, but I’m not entirely sure whether I actually have the legal ability to sell before the full estate administration process has been completed. Do I need to wait until everything is formally finalised first?

I’m planning to make a will in Malta and I’ve come across the terms ‘public will’ and ‘secret will’ as two different options. I don’t fully understand what actually differs between them in practice, or which one might be more suitable for my situation.

My parent in Malta recently updated their will and, from what I understand, has left me out entirely in favour of a sibling, seemingly due to some personal disagreement between us. I always assumed children couldn’t just be completely disinherited under Maltese law. Is that assumption actually correct?

I keep hearing the term ‘disposable portion’ mentioned in relation to Maltese wills and inheritance, alongside the concept of a reserved portion for children and spouses. I don’t fully understand the difference or how the disposable portion is actually calculated in practice.

A relative in Malta passed away and I’ve been informed I’m entitled to inherit part of their estate. I haven’t yet decided whether to accept or renounce, given some uncertainty about the estate’s actual financial position. Is there a deadline by which I need to make this decision?
