one hand, there is the joy of the material or non-material value of the inheritance; on the other hand, legal and interpersonal challenges can arise. It becomes particularly tricky when not just one person inherits, but several heirs together &#8211; in this case we speak of a <g id=\"gid_0\">community of heirs<\/g>. It arises automatically as soon as several people become co-heirs, for example siblings, children or distant relatives.  <\/p>\n<p>From this moment on, the <strong>entire estate<\/strong> belongs to <strong>everyone jointly<\/strong> and important decisions must be made by mutual agreement. This applies regardless of whether it concerns real estate, bank balances, securities, company shares or personal items. It is precisely this obligation to make joint decisions that makes the community of heirs a particular challenge. Differing interests, financial needs or emotional ties to certain estate items can quickly lead to tensions. What at first glance appears to be a fair model &#8211; everyone inherits an equal share &#8211; can prove complicated in practice if there is no clear communication and a certain degree of willingness to compromise.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-964b0cb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"964b0cb\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"steuerlichabsetzbar\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c4b8b57\" data-id=\"c4b8b57\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37bdd4c h3-styling elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"37bdd4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">What is a community of heirs?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4bb7e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4bb7e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A community of heirs is created automatically as soon as several people are appointed as joint heirs, whether by will, inheritance contract or statutory succession.

These include the fees for the certificate of inheritance or the opening of a will at the probate court.

The ongoing expenses for the estate, such as the administration or maintenance of a property, must also be taken into account. In the event of disagreement, legal and court costs often arise from disputes or partition auctions. Finally, realization costs are incurred when assets are sold, such as estate agent commissions or notary fees.     <\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"e7428068-78b5-4534-864b-521ef79e7221\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-2\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none scroll-mt-(--header-height)\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"91e17f42-e990-43d9-9609-2c9fbfd72e36\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-3\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"user\">\n<h5 class=\"sr-only\"> <\/h5>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\" jet-accordion__item jet-toggle jet-toggle-move-up-effect \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jet-toggle-control-2662\" class=\"jet-toggle__control elementor-menu-anchor\" data-toggle=\"2\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"jet-toggle-content-2662\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-template-id=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-toggle__label-icon jet-toggle-icon-position-left\"><span class=\"jet-toggle__icon icon-normal jet-tabs-icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"jet-toggle__icon icon-active jet-tabs-icon\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div><p class=\"jet-toggle__label-text\">Is it possible to leave a community of heirs?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"jet-toggle-content-2662\" class=\"jet-toggle__content\" data-toggle=\"2\" role=\"region\" data-template-id=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-toggle__content-inner\"><p>It is not possible to withdraw directly from a community of heirs, as it is created automatically with the inheritance.
