Improve Your Credit Score With Homeowner Consolidation LoansDebt Consolidation Loans are usually recommended when someone has debt problems because these loans reduce the amount of money spent on interests, lower the monthly payments making them more affordable, and turn an otherwise descendent credit score tendency into a virtuous circle of ascendant credit score. But, did you know that homeowners can get better deals on consolidation loans? Debt consolidation is known for being the most efficient means for reducing debt and recovering the ability of getting finance by improving credit history. The main advantage of debt consolidation is that you stop paying multiple bills, loans and balances at variable rates and start paying a single fixed monthly installment. This has a significant beneficial effect on your finances. Why Do Consolidation Loans Come With Lower Rates? The reason why consolidation loans feature lower interest rates is that the purpose of the loan is to cancel all or almost all the outstanding debt and replace it with a single loan. Thus, the lender will become the only creditor or at least the creditor with the highest share of debt. Given that the debtor has now a single creditor and a single loan to repay (that features lower and more affordable installments), the risk of defaulting is greatly reduced which in turn lets the lender offer more convenient loan terms. How Do Homeowner Consolidation Loans Work? Homeownership offers the borrower the benefit of getting even lower interest rates. Either secured or unsecured consolidation loans, when tailored for homeowners come with lower rates and generally better terms than consolidation loans for non homeowners. This is due to the fact that the property acts as guarantee of the loan. When it comes to secured loans, the property guarantees the loan directly in the form of collateral or security. In unsecured loans, the property guarantees the loan too because it is part of the overall assets of the borrower, thus raising the amount from which the lender can collect the money he lent in the event of default. Furthermore, homeowners not only get lower interest rates but also, longer and more flexible repayment programs and consequently lower and more affordable monthly installments. This helps warding off the risk of late payments or missed payments and thus contributes to improving the borrower’s credit score. How Is Credit Score Affected? Homeowner Debt Consolidation Loans contribute to raise your credit score and improve your credit history in different ways. For starters, the reduction on the amount of interests you will have to pay and the more affordable monthly payments have an immediate positive impact on your credit report. Moreover, the continuous and timely payments of the consolidation loan installments will keep raising your credit score and improving you ability to get finance with better terms and more competitive rates. With time, those stains on your credit history will disappear for good and you will recover a good credit tag that will let you get cheaper finance. Thus, consolidating your debt with a homeowner loan is the smartest choice if you have debt problems and fear you might not be able to repay your debt.

Inheritance in Romania
The Romanian law provides for two types of inheritance: the legal inheritance and the inheritance established through a last will or testament. The legal inheritance becomes applicable when the deceased has not issued a will during his life where he had decided about the distribution of his goods after his death. Under the Romanian law there are two categories of legal inheritors: the surviving spouse and the deceased’s relatives up to the fourth degree.
The deceased’s relatives called by the law to inherit are divided in four classes in order of preference: (i) the deceased’s descendents (without limitation to the degree or number; for example: children, grandchildren); (ii) the deceased’s privileged ascendants (the parents) and privileged collaterals (the deceased’s brothers and sisters and their descendants until the fourth degree); (iii) the deceased’s ordinary ascendants (without limitation to the degree or number; for example: grandparents, grand-grandparents, etc.); (iv) the deceased’s ordinary collaterals (relatives until the forth degree; for example: uncles, aunts, primary cousins and the brothers and sisters of the grandparents).
The more preferable classes of inheritors exclude the less ones. Thus, the deceased’s descendents (first class) exclude all the other classes of descendents and collect the inheritance left by the deceased.
The Romanian law always calls at the inheritance, together with all the classes of inheritors, the deceased’s surviving spouse.
In case the deceased has left a last will then, at the division of the inheritance, the provisions of this testament are to be applied together with the ones of the mandatory law. The mandatory law refers to the inheritance reserve which is awarded only to certain inheritors like the deceased’s surviving spouse or the deceased’s descendants.
The inheritance can be divided either in court or in front of a notary public. The second option is preferable due to the rapidity, efficiency and confidentiality.
Inheritors must take into consideration also the taxation applicable to the inheritance. The Romanian law is very flexible in what regards the applicable taxes to an inheritance. Thus, there is applicable a tax only in case the inheritors did not open and finalize the inheritance procedure within 2 (two) years from the death of the author of the inheritance. This tax is in quantum of 1% (one per cent) from the established value of the inheritance. So, there is no tax applicable to the inheritance in case the inheritors are diligent and finalize the inheritance procedure within the 2 (two) years period mentioned above.
Foreign inheritors can collect their inheritance in Romanian without being obliged to be physically present here. The Romanian law allows the representation of the inheritors by attorneys in front of either the notary public or the competent court. It is recommendable for foreign inheritors to collaborate with Romanian specialists in order to best protect their interests in the inheritance procedure (this means the reduction of the period for finalizing the procedure, the reduction of the costs for the inheritance, the certainty that all the provisions of the Romanian law are complied with).
In case foreign inheritors decide to collaborate with Romanian specialists in view of collecting their inheritance in Romania they must only provide a special power of attorney (the model of which will be provided by their Romanian contractors) and the funds necessary to finalize the procedure.
Finally, we recommend that foreign inheritors should be diligent and act in due time in order to collect their inheritance in Romania. In case there are no inheritors to collect the inheritance left by a deceased person, then this will be collected by the Romanian state.
