Wills in Denmark

[jaclyn20]

Hi Everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone knows who and how long it takes for a court in Denmark to get in touch with the heirs of an estate in Denmark after a person's passing, The heirs live outside of Denmark (Canada). Also, how long does it usually take for the courts to settle the distribution of an estate. There is no property to split (eg. houses, land). The person who's will is the one to be executed has been deceased for decades. However, it was set up in a way, that a relative to this person was to receive accumulating interest during their lifetime. This relative has now passed away a while ago and the heirs have yet to contacted. Can anyone please tell me what the procedure usually is like? Apparently there is no longer an executor for this will. The last one passed away over a decade ago, and supposedly there is no other one in place.- Seems weird enough...

Thank you very much.
