Inheritance law regulates the financial consequences that arise as a result of the death of individuals, as well as the subsequent transfer of their assets. The governing legislation in Bulgaria regulating the legal aspects of the subject is the Bulgarian Inheritance Act ((ブルガリア語:''Закон за наследството'')).〔(Закон за наследството ) (Bulgarian)〕 ==Sources of law== The main legal source is the Inheritance Act (BG "Закон за наследството", entered into force on the 30th of April 1949). The Act stipulates that inheritance can be inherited either by means of: *Statutory provisions or: *A will which contains the testator's expressed will. ==Statutory succession (Chapter 2 of the Bulgarian Inheritance Act)== The right of inheritance is usually governed by statutory provisions which set out the order of succession by the respective successors. The Bulgarian Inheritance Act provides for four levels of successors in order of succession rights whereby those in the preceding level exclude those in the successive ones. The inheritance shall be received by the following natural persons according to the following order: *Level I: descendants of the deceased; *Level II: the parents of the deceased *Level III: #grandparents of the deceased and their descendants; #siblings of the deceased and their descendants; *Level IV Collateral heirs from the third to the sixth level of inheritance. In addition, the spouse of the deceased inherits together with the heirs of the first to the third level and replaces the heirs in the fourth level. It shall be noted that legal entities do not have capacity to receive inheritance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inheritance law in Bulgaria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
