Inheritance Deed - Who is it for and what are the benefits
Commonly known as an “Inheritance Certificate,” an Inheritance Deed outlines the inheritance rights of the legitimate heirs and their respective inheritance shares, in accordance with applicable Indonesian laws and regulations. In the case of property ownership, this deed is generally used by foreign nationals (WNA) wishing to purchase property in Indonesia.
Because foreign nationals cannot directly own property in Indonesia, the only way to do so is through marriage to an Indonesian citizen (WNI). This allows the foreign national to purchase property in their spouse’s name.
A certificate of inheritance is very useful in managing this situation to separate the assets of the Indonesian spouse from the foreign spouse and avoid overlapping property ownership by the authorised parties.
