Sucession Law reform - proposed amendments

On 16 April, the Government submitted Bill No. 69/XVII/1 to the Portuguese Parliament, following its approval by the Council of Ministers on 27 March. Through this proposal, the Government aims to introduce a significant reform of the Portuguese succession law framework, with particular emphasis on cases involving undivided estates.

The legislative proposal seeks to establish mechanisms to overcome prolonged deadlocks between heirs by expanding the powers relating to the administration, liquidation, and distribution of estates.
