The two forms have different legal effects.<\/li><li>If there are several heirs, a clear valuation of the property and, if necessary, legal assistance in resolving the dispute are essential in case of disagreements over the division of the property.<\/li><li>The estate includes debts - it is important to take stock of the deceased's overall financial situation before accepting the
