The inheritance settlement can be easily arranged remotely, and electronic signatures can be included in the inventory.
The estate inventory must be arranged within 3 months of the death. Legal firm Amox has the capabilities to arrange the probate process entirely remotely. This is the case, for example, when attendance would be difficult or overly burdensome for shareholders, or if shareholders live in other towns or abroad. Holding a probate meeting remotely, organised through the Amoks Law Office, is effortless and of high quality!
How is a probate arranged remotely?
The probate inventory will be held as a video conference via Microsoft Teams. You can participate in the probate inventory meeting from your own computer. The heirs of the deceased's estate will receive a draft of the probate inventory by email in advance, and they will be able to follow the proceedings of the probate inventory and ask any questions or make comments.
The pre-prepared inventory of the estate will be reviewed point by point with the heirs of the estate, and any necessary changes will be made – exactly as would happen in a physical inventory of the estate.
Once the inventory report has been reviewed and the necessary amendments have been made, the inventory report is ready to be signed.
Signatures will be handled as electronic signatures, allowing each participant to sign the estate inventory through their online banking credentials. After this, we will send the completed and signed estate inventory to all beneficiaries of the estate via both postal mail and email. Concurrently, we will also electronically submit the estate inventory to the tax administration.
We will send advance instructions to all participants in the estate inventory and are happy to advise participants by phone as well, to ensure the estate inventory conducted via remote connection can be carried out.
The price for an estate inventory is €250/hour. Please contact us to request a cost estimate for the estate inventory on tel. 010 299 5090 (local call charge).

Perunkirjoitus is a Finnish legal term that translates to "probate inventory" or "estate inventory" in English. It is a crucial part of the inheritance process in Finland.
Essentially, **perunkirjoitus is the official listing and valuation of a deceased person's assets and debts.**
Here's a breakdown of what it involves:
* **Purpose:** To determine the deceased's net worth, which is necessary for inheritance tax purposes and for dividing the estate among the heirs.
* **Process:** An inventory is compiled, listing all the deceased's property (real estate, bank accounts, shares, vehicles, personal belongings, etc.) and all their debts (loans, outstanding bills, etc.) as of the date of death.
* **Valuation:** All assets are valued at their market price at the time of death.
* **Documentation:** The perukirja (the document created from the inventory) is signed by two witnesses and confirmed by the heirs.
* **Filing:** The perukirja is submitted to the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto) within a specified timeframe after the death.
In summary, perunkirjoitus is the formal and legally required process of documenting and valuing a deceased person's estate for the purposes of inheritance and taxation.
