Erbenakte
The steps for the inheritance
Always the next step, with the period as a rule: what starts it, not a date that may not be right for your case.
Every heir in one place
Every heir in one place. Each one consents for themselves; an heir who has not joined yet counts with their share.
Sharing the costs
Who paid what? The other heirs confirm or dispute each entry.
Deciding together
Every option worked out with your own figures and given the same weight. The vote is by share.
For communities of heirs in Germany
Inheriting together. Keeping the overview. Deciding together.
You inherit a house, accounts and running costs together with siblings or other relatives. Erbenakte is the shared, neutral place for every heir: the steps in the right order, the estate and its values, who paid what, and what you decide together.

What the app does
Everything a community of heirs has to settle – in one place
The steps for the inheritance
Delivering the will, deciding whether to reject, banks, the certificate of inheritance, the land register: in the right order, every period as a rule with what starts it.
Every heir in one place
Invite the others by link. Every change leaves a line in the history that nobody can delete.
The estate and its values
House, accounts, car, household, debts too. Upload documents once, everyone sees the same file.
Sharing the costs
Property tax, insurance, heating: the total, the differences by share, and what each month without a decision costs.
Deciding together
Sale, buyout, payout, letting with your figures. A vote by share, the sale proceeds divided to the cent.
To the notary, with everything
What court and notary cost, by the official table. Letters to bank and insurer, the summary as a PDF, the record of the decision.
How it works
Five stages. The app always says what comes next.
Settling the inheritance
Will, rejecting, banks, insurers, certificate of inheritance. The periods as rules, with what starts them.
Bringing the heirs together
Invite the others. Each one consents for themselves; an heir who does not take part is listed with their share and sees nothing.
Overview of the estate
What there is, what it is worth and where the value comes from. Documents in one place.
Sharing the costs
Whoever pays enters it; the others confirm. The app calculates; it does not judge.
Deciding and concluding
The options side by side, a vote by share, and everything the notary needs.
Neutral and private
It is about your family and its inheritance. We treat it that way.
An inheritance is private, and often it is difficult. Erbenakte belongs to no side: it calculates with the same figures for everyone and recommends no option.
- Nobody is steeredNo option is ranked, nobody pays us for a sale.
- Every figure with its originWho entered it, where it comes from, when.
- Stored in the EU onlyNo ads, no tracking, visible only to the heirs in the case.
- Information, not legal adviceYour individual case is for a lawyer or the probate court.

Guide
What heirs ask most
Short and clear, in the order it happens. Every statement with its source.
- A co-heir lives in the inherited house: what you can recordA sibling lives rent-free in the inherited house, the others want their share. What you can record, and an example calculation of a takeover.
- Who pays the running costs in a community of heirs?Property tax, insurance, heating: often one heir pays everything alone. What each month without a decision costs, worked out with your figures.
- A co-heir blocks the sale: what the options areAll heirs want to sell, one does not. What generally applies, which ways the law provides and what you can record in the meantime.
- The value of the inherited house is disputed: which values there areAn estate agent's value, an old valuation, the land value: which kinds of values exist, what they say and how to record them side by side.
- A co-heir does not respond: what you can do and recordNo answer to calls, letters or messages. What generally applies, what the heirs can decide without that person, and what you record.
- Rejecting an inheritance: period, form and what happens nextSix weeks, a declaration at the probate court or a notary, and then one's own children often inherit. What generally applies to rejecting an inheritance.
Questions
Frequent questions
I was invited. What happens when I open the link?
You see who invites you to which case. Only once you have created an account and consented yourself do you see the case. Someone else's consent does not count for you.
Must every heir take part?
No. The case works for those who take part. An heir who does not accept is listed with their share and sees nothing.
Does the app say who owes whom how much?
No. It calculates with the figures you enter and shows totals and differences by share. What can be claimed in law, it does not assess.
Does the app give our deadlines?
It states every period as a rule with what starts it, such as six weeks from learning of the inheritance. It computes no date for your case, because that depends on circumstances only you know.
What does Erbenakte cost?
Starting is free. The Akte costs €39.99 once per case, the Akte with evidence €129.99 (€89.99 as an upgrade) – for every heir in the case, no subscription.
Do I need the app from the store?
No. Everything works in the browser, on a phone as on a computer. The app for iPhone and Android follows.
