Solicitor for Inheritance Law in Zebbug

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 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.

My relative in Malta co-owned a property together with their sibling, not with a spouse, when they passed away. I’m trying to understand what actually happens to their share of that jointly owned property now, and whether it automatically passes to the surviving co-owner or becomes part of the deceased’s estate to be inherited by their own heirs.

My parent in Malta recently passed away and I understand I’m entitled to inherit as their child, but I’ve also learned they had some outstanding debts. I’m concerned about whether I could personally become responsible for paying off these debts simply because I’m inheriting from the estate.

My spouse and I in Malta are legally separated, though not yet divorced, and given how our relationship has broken down, I’d like to know whether I can exclude them from inheriting from my estate through my will, or whether their spousal inheritance rights continue regardless of our separation.

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 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 siblings and I in Malta jointly inherited a property from our parent, but we can’t agree on what to do with it, some of us want to sell, others want to keep it. Is there a legal mechanism to resolve this deadlock, such as forcing a sale, if we genuinely cannot reach agreement among ourselves?
