In Lebanon, heirs are required to submit a final declaration of the estate within six months of the deceased’s death or from the execution of a will. This step ensures the Ministry of Finance can calculate the exact inheritance taxes due before property and assets are transferred.
Required Documents:
-
Inheritance Ruling.
-
Will (if applicable).
-
Property documents (size, maps, municipal certificates).
-
Proof of real estate tax payment.
-
Company shares (commercial registry extract, financial statements).
-
Bank certificates of account balances.
-
Vehicle registrations.
-
Treasury bond certificates and stock records.
-
Documents proving debts of the deceased.
Conclusion: The final declaration allows the Ministry of Finance to calculate the exact taxes due before property transfers can take place.
