But it was more meant as an MvdV> illustration that the definition of "heir" can vary in law and common speak. In Spain and I think in almost all Europe, the blood line level influence the amount of taxes (taking blood line as an "in law" inclusive) but the rights are not finished at a defined level, as far away, less chances to reclaim something. The first three levels are somehow direct candicates while far away levels must present a "complaint" (I'm not sure about the word) and if no people is presented with closer level he/she can reclaim something. Same rules are applied (more or less) when the there is somthing like a house but legal titular is not localizable, so heirs can reclaim the possesion but before they must "complaint" in a court. This kind of processes are usually very, very slow and can take up much more than the "legal" 3 years. -- Best regards, José -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
