The surviving spouse’s option to acquire or allocate the predeceased’s own property or to take joint property (number 24 in table 5) gives rise to the collection of a proportional fee, according to the following scale:
Base ranges | Applicable rate |
---|---|
From €0 to €6,500 | 3,870% |
From €6,500 to €17,000 | 1.596% |
From €17,000 to €60,000 | 1,064 % |
More than €60,000 | 0.799 % |
In the event of an option for the attribution of own property or for the taking of joint property, the emolument received is deducted proportionally from the emolument for the liquidation and partition if these take place in the same study.
