Bröstarvinge

Direct heir (bröstarvinge) is the legal term for children and grandchildren, the heirs who always have a right to their statutory share. The statutory share is a part of the inheritance that these heirs are entitled to even if the deceased wrote a will saying otherwise. The rules apply throughout the country and become relevant when an estate is to be divided among the heirs.
