The Decree for Justifiable Confiscation is a law in wizarding Great Britain that gives the Ministry of Magic the right to confiscate the contents of a will if there is strong evidence that illegal items might be passed on in said will. The law was created to prevent wizards and witches from passing on Dark artefacts. It allows the Ministry to inspect the deceased's possessions for thirty-one days, after which they must carry out the will if no dark items are found.
