yes my parents were from same country.
together with my sibling I received by the law part of the property when my mother died and then the remaining part always by the law when my dad died. No will involved. Just the law made the division.
You cannot sell any of the properties until you make a notarized acceptance of the inheritance, even if you paid the inheritance taxes before.
For what I know when the parents died we became heir, but this does not mean we accepted the inheritance.
My parents were not living in part of the property we receiived, but there was no income from the properties either and no business
