The deletion of a usufruct, residential right or priority notice of rescission can be applied for at the land registry on presentation of the death certificate. Please note the following:

• Usufruct
  A usufruct can only be deleted immediately if a so-called simplified deletion clause ("deletable with proof of death") is entered for the right. Without this clause, deletion is only possible after the expiry of one year from the date of death or if the deletion consent of all heirs is submitted in officially certified form as well as proof of inheritance (see the notes under land register correction after inheritance).
  
• Housing rights
  Housing rights can generally be deleted immediately without further ado upon presentation of proof of death.
  
• Priornotice of rescission
  In the case of prior notices of rescission, the specific provision of the purchase or transfer agreement is decisive. The deletion of a priority notice of reversion can only be applied for without further ado if the priority notice was expressly limited to life in the contract. If this is not the case, check the contract to see whether a power of attorney has been granted to issue a deletion authorization. If this is the case, please contact the (certifying) notary. In all other cases, the consent of all heirs in publicly notarized form and proof of inheritance are required for deletion.
