Hi Deedee

Steady on.... before we let everyone think that if there is no will the Bulgarian state will take your property!!!

The truth is that if you don't make a will, your property will be governed
by Bulgarian law and your heirs will be the ones as per BG law -
first line are the children, the spouse and the parents. If you don't have
heirs of this line or the next line - grandparents, cousins, aunts and
uncles, nephews and nieces etc., only then will the state inherit your
property.

The common rule is: "If there is no will, immovables are
inherited under Bulgarian law, movables - under the law of the last
address registration of the deceased."

Cheers


PS : Sorry, forgot. You don't have to make a Bulgarian will separately
from your English one. As long as the authenticity of the
latter can be confirmed, undoubtedly, it will be fully accepted.
