Renunciation of inheritance in enforcement 

Only notify us of the renunciation of inheritance, if you have enforcement debts and you want to prevent the enforcement of your share of the estate in order to pay your debts. When you have renounced the inheritance before the enforcement decision was made and submitted the notification to us for deposit, your right to the inheritance or will may not be seized.
