If there is more than one heir (Erbe), a joint certificate of inheritance will issued upon application (§ 352a FamFG). It states the names of the co-heirs (Miterben) and their shares of the estate (Erbteil). The application for a joint certificate of inheritance may be made by all or only one of the co-heirs. If the application is not made by all the heirs, it must contain a statement that the other heirs have accepted the inheritance. The affirmation in lieu of an oath (Versicherung an Eides Statt) is to be made by all of the heirs, unless the probate court considers that a declaration by one or more of them is sufficient.
