Which place to enter?

The location is used to determine the responsible office for the selected administrative service. In most cases you can enter your place of residence to find the competent authority. However, there are also cases in which a different location must be specified. Here are some examples:

Birth certificateYou want to get married and need a birth certificate. You live in Hanover, but you were born in Celle. You must therefore state your place of birth, i.e. Celle.

Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Succession

Read aloud

If someone dies and has not left a disposition of his inheritance, the legal succession occurs. It is based on the general ideas about to whom the assets of the deceased should just fall. In principle, the blood relatives and the spouse or life partner inherit.

Non-marital partnerships have no reciprocal statutory right of succession. So if you want to appoint your partner as heir, a disposition is mandatory.

Relatives are classified as heirs according to degree of kinship. Those with the smallest atomic number inherit:

  • Heirs of the first order are the descendants of the testator and their descendants
  • Heirs of the second order are the parents of the deceased and their descendants
  • Heirs of the third order are the grandparents and their descendants
  • Heirs of the fourth order are the great-grandparents and their descendants

If the deceased has been inherited jointly by several persons, the entire property belongs jointly to the heirs.

Further information can be found on the Lower Saxony State Justice Portal.
