Inheritance law encompasses legal norms that regulate the transfer of property rights and obligations after a person's death. In an objective sense, inheritance law includes the transfer of assets to the heirs, while subjectively, it denotes the right of the heirs to access the deceased's property relations. The probate process, which is complex and sensitive, is centered around the role of the notary public, whose task is to ensure the proper conduct of the process and protect the interests of all parties. This paper analyzes the key duties and powers of the notary public, including the confirmation of death, the drafting of records on the opening of the estate, the validity of the will, and the conduct of probate hearings. Although notaries play a vital role in ensuring transparency and legal security, they face challenges such as disputes among heirs and complex property situations. The paper also emphasizes the importance of continuous education and practice improvement, recommending enhancements in cooperation with other legal professionals and the development of legal tools. Proper handling of probate proceedings contributes to trust in the judicial system, allowing heirs to exercise their rights in accordance with the will of the deceased and applicable legislation.
