Inventory of assets

(1) The parents are to prepare an inventory of the assets subject to their management which the child acquires as a result of death, affix to the inventory an affirmation that it is correct and complete and submit the inventory to the family court. The same applies to assets which the child obtains in another way on the occasion of a death, and to lump sum payments that are made instead of maintenance, and gratuitous dispositions. In the case of household objects, a statement of the total value is sufficient.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply

1.  if the value of assets acquired does not exceed 15,000 euros or

2.  to the extent that the testator by testamentary disposition or the donor when making the disposition made a direction to the contrary.

(3) If the parents, contrary to subsection (1) or (2), do not submit an inventory, or if the inventory submitted is inadequate, the family court may order that the inventory is recorded by a competent authority or a competent official or notary.
