The article reveals the problem of information vacuum faced by participants in inheritance legal relations. After the death of a citizen, his heirs and creditors will have to meet, which, under the current legislative regulation, may not take place at all. After accepting the inheritance, and perhaps even after disposing of it, the heirs may be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of creditors’ demands for the testator’s debts. The article proposes a mechanism that will allow for the timely disclosure of information about the existence of the testator’s debt obligations and their amount.
