Estate inventory

Estate inventory

An estate inventory is a record of a deceased person's assets and debts at the time of death.

What is an estate inventory?

An estate inventory (Swedish: bouppteckning) is the review of a deceased person's assets and debts, and the document drawn up. The surviving spouse's assets and debts are included too. It must be submitted to Skatteverket and shows who the parties to the estate are.

 

An estate inventory and the share ledger

Shares the deceased owned in an unlisted company are included. Before the shares are distributed to heirs, the estate can be entered as shareholder in the share ledger. The inventory and a distribution of the estate then form the basis when the change of ownership is recorded, as in a generational transfer.
