The application and referral (Annex 24)
From 2026, the procedure can begin with a standard application form (MDLPA Order 407/2026) submitted by the heirs to the local authority of the deceased's last place of residence. On this basis, the secretary-general prepares the referral to open inheritance proceedings (Annex 24) and sends it to the Camera Notarilor Publici, which assigns the notary. You may also contact a notary directly (Law 36/1995).
