One of the main issues other than the acceptance of inheritance with or without a will is that of renouncing it, especially where debts exist, or even limiting your liability by accepting the inheritance subject to inventory.

However, even if this deadline has passed, it is possible for this nominal acceptance to be overturned, though at increased cost and on the basis of appropriate factual and legal reasons.
