President Sadyr Japarov signed a law introducing amendments to the Law "On Acts of Civil Status." According to the new norms, a death certificate may now be issued to a person named in a will, provided it is notarized.
What will change for citizens
The innovation is aimed at simplifying the process of formalizing inheritance rights. A death certificate is a mandatory document for a number of notary procedures related to the transfer of property. Now, citizens entitled to this under a will will be able to obtain the document without additional complications.
It is important to note that these amendments do not change the existing procedure for the distribution of inheritance and do not grant citizens new property rights. The changes concern exclusively the possibility of obtaining a document confirming the fact of the testator's death.
Effective dates
The law will take effect in three months. During this period, the Cabinet of Ministers must prepare relevant regulatory legal acts to bring them into compliance with the new legislative requirements.
