Law 15/2015, of July 2, of the Voluntary Jurisdiction, has amended Law 33/2003, of 3 November, of the Patrimony of Public Administrations, attributing to the Administrations called to the inheritance in quality of Heirs abdicate the jurisdiction to declare their status as such.

The procedure should be instructed by the Economy and Finance delegations and resolved by the Director General of the State Heritage, which, consequently, is also the body that must agree to its opening. The Director-General is also the body responsible for agreeing, on a general basis, to incorporate into the hereditary mass of those goods of the causative which are located after the declaration of the heir.

To contribute to greater agility in the processing of the administrative procedure for the declaration of the General Administration of the State as an abinterment heiress and in the management and liquidation of the flow, it is considered to delegate to the Economic and Finance Delegates the powers to agree to the opening of the procedure and to incorporate goods from the causative to the mass of the abbate. On the other hand, as in the case of goods investigation procedures, it is considered appropriate to delegate to the Deputy Director-General of the State Heritage the competence to resolve the file.

In its virtue, in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of Law 30/1992, of 26 November, of the Legal Regime of Public Administrations and of the Common Administrative Procedure, and after the approval of the Undersecretary of Finance and Public Administrations, as established in the Additional Disposition of Law 6/1997 of April 14, of the Organization and the Functioning of the General Administration of the State, I have resolved:
