What is Estate?
The whole of the assets passing to the heirs on the death of the deceased, with both its assets and its liabilities.
Whether the estate is insolvent is decisive for a decision to renounce the inheritance. The balance of debts and assets can be established by asking for an official inventory of the estate to be taken.
