What is inheritance law?
Inheritance law governs the legal succession of assets following a person’s death, as outlined in the Swedish Inheritance Code (Ärvdabalken). It determines who is entitled to inherit and how the estate is distributed. While a will allows the deceased to specify their wishes, the law also provides a default order of succession for spouses, children, and direct heirs in accordance with the Inheritance Code.
Who inherits from whom?
In Sweden, inheritance law protects the relatives of the deceased. The right to a share of the estate depends on the degree of kinship. While it is possible to bequeath assets through a will, children are always entitled to their statutory share of inheritance and a spouse has the right to their marital property.
