'The Notification Procedure in Probate Matters. An Investigation into the Significance of the Register of Wills Authority, the Central Register of Wills and the Transfer of Paper-Based Will Registers for the German Probate System': The notification procedure in probate matters ensures that documents relevant to succession can be located. As such it forms a central part of the German probate process. This work is the first comprehensive analysis of the procedure, presenting its historical foundations, legal structures, practical functions and systematically classifying it within the field of probate law. A particular focus is on the modern procedure's three pillars: the Register of Wills Authority, the Central Register of Wills, and the transfer of paper-based will registers. The thesis offers academia and practitioners a well-founded and valuable guide at a central interface between inheritance, probate, and civil status law.
