What it is

This is the official application form for a European Certificate of Succession. It asks for details of the deceased, the succession and the applicant's entitlement. The certificate is evidence intended for cross-border use; the form itself is not the certificate, does not divide the estate and is only valid in the countries covered by the scheme.

What you receive

You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.

The assistant explains; it does not fill in or submit anything on your behalf. Do not type passwords or third parties' data.

Things to note

The form is blank and must be completed and signed by the applicant. As the estate involves several countries, please check with the relevant authority which documents to attach. Titus Docs does not send the application or guarantee that the certificate will be issued.

Frequently asked questions
