Proposition de loi modifiant le Code judiciaire en ce qui concerne l'apposition des scellés et la désignation d'un curateur en cas de succession vacante.
This is a Belgian bill, introduced in the Chamber of Representatives, that would amend the Judicial Code. It concerns two legal steps that apply when a person dies without known heirs or without anyone accepting the inheritance (a 'vacant succession'): placing official seals (scellés) on the deceased person's property to protect it, and appointing a curator to manage the estate. The bill aims to clarify or update how these steps are carried out. The rules would mainly affect courts, notaries, and the public authorities responsible for vacant estates, as well as heirs or creditors who may later claim the estate. People with a stake in an unclaimed inheritance would be affected by how property is secured and administered. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill.
