Wills and inheritance

How does a private asset inventory differ from the formal estate inventory?

A private asset inventory is a working overview that organises family information: what exists, which institutions to contact and where the documents are. You can prepare it at any time and update it whenever you like.

The formal estate inventory (spis inwentarza) and inventory list (wykaz inwentarza) are legal concepts of Polish inheritance law that apply after someone’s death. The estate inventory is drawn up by a court enforcement officer based on a court decision or an application, while the inventory list can be submitted by an heir to the court or before a notary. A private inventory does not replace these documents, but it makes preparing them much easier for your loved ones.
