What documents must be presented after obtaining the effective inheritance proceedings in the Office of Vital Records?

The certificate of effective inheritance proceedings (posesión efectiva) issued by the Office of Vital Records must be submitted. This document must include identification of the deceased, the heirs, and the list of assets. If, for any reason, the inventory does not specify the number of shares held by the deceased but only their value, a certificate indicating the average value of the shares during the six months prior to the date of death must also be submitted. Additionally, a copy of the resolution from the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (SII) regarding the inheritance tax must be provided, confirming payment, exemption, or the statute of limitations. If the shares are part of an amended inventory, the SII resolution must be subsequent to the amendment and must reflect the assets included therein.
