How does the last will get to the court?
Last wills in official „deposit“ with a notary public or a court will be sent there automatically, „ex officio“.
Apart from that everyone who finds a last will has a strict obligation to submit the document immediately. A violation of this duty can have very severe consequence, can be prosecuted and declared „unworthy“ of the inheritance.
