When a person dies abroad, the fact of death is often not registered in the civil registry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Without this registration, the family cannot initiate probate proceedings or manage the deceased’s property in BiH.
⚠️ Why is registration required?
To conduct inheritance proceedings and legally transfer ownership, the death must be registered in the domestic civil registry.
