Report inheritance with a mining license

Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

If the holder of a mining permit dies, the right to the permit is transferred to the heirs.

If a company becomes the universal successor of another company, the licenses are transferred to the new company.

A mining permit, also known as an exploration permit, allows you to explore for certain raw materials in a specified area and for a specified period of time.

If the holder of a mining permit dies, it is transferred to the heirs. Up to 10 years after the death, the right may also be exercised by the so-called beneficiaries. These are

  • Administrators of the estate
  • estate administrators
  • executors of the will.

In both cases, you as the heir or person entitled to dispose of the estate must apply to the competent authority for a transfer of the license.

In the event of the conversion of companies with accompanying universal succession, the transfer of the license to the new company must be reported immediately.
