Within three months after a death, the heirs assembled at the home of the deceased along with the court-appointed appraisers (''värderingsmän'') who were experienced in the required procedures and legalities. All real-estate, household items, as well as personal property of the deceased were recorded and assigned a monetary value so that they could be properly divided between the heirs. The inventory was to be performed within a year of death but it was not uncommon that it would drag out for a year or two. However, most were within 3 months. At the conclusion of the inventory, the appraisers created a transcript of the estate inventory which was submitted to the court at the next court session. The dividing of the property was handled in court and a separate document was made for the distribution of the estate. Occasionally the distribution was added to the end of the inventory, but this was not usually the case. The estate inventory documents usually contains two main parts, the preamble and the inventory. | Within three months after a death, the heirs assembled at the home of the deceased along with the court-appointed appraisers (''värderingsmän'') who were experienced in the required procedures and legalities.
