Probate Proceedings in Bosnia and Herzegovina
In probate proceedings it shall be determined who the testator's heirs are, what constitutes legacy, and which rights belong to heirs, legates and other persons.
Jurisdiction for conducting probate proceedings
Probate proceedings are carried out in the first instance before a municipal court or before a notary as a court commissioner.
Before the municipal court probate proceedings are carried out by a single judge.
The court on whose territory the testator had his residence at the time of death shall have territorial jurisdiction for probate proceedings.
If the testator at the time of death had no residence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the court on whose territory the testator at the time had a residence shall have territorial jurisdiction for probate proceedings, unless this law or international agreement provides otherwise.
If the testator at the time of death had neither dwelling place nor residence in BiH, the court on whose territory legacy or a part of it is located shall have territorial jurisdiction for probate proceedings.
If no part of the legacy is in BiH, the court on whose territory the testator was entered in the register of citizens shall have territorial jurisdiction for probate proceedings.
