Solicitor for Inheritance Law in Tarxien

I’m not a Maltese citizen, but I’ve been named as an heir to inherit property located in Malta from a relative who lived there. I want to understand whether there are any restrictions on foreign nationals inheriting Maltese property, given that I know there are sometimes restrictions on foreigners buying property in Malta.

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 have a will drafted and executed in my home country, which is outside Malta, but I also own property in Malta. I want to understand whether my existing foreign will would actually be recognised as valid for dealing with my Maltese property, or whether I need a completely separate Maltese will specifically for that.

A close family member in Malta recently passed away without leaving any will at all, as far as we can tell. We’re not sure how the estate is actually supposed to be distributed in this situation, or who has the authority to start dealing with it.

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?

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’m dealing with an inheritance matter in Malta involving property left by a relative, and I keep hearing about needing to involve a notary specifically, separate from a lawyer. Is this actually a distinct requirement, and what’s the difference between what a notary does versus a lawyer in this context?

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.
