Inheritance law

In the course of their lives, many people deal with the question of how their assets can be transferred and preserved in an orderly and secure manner. Without a will or a contract of inheritance, the legal succession applies in the event of death, but this may not be ideal for the specific family and asset situation, especially if business assets are involved. We help you – in close coordination with tax advisors – in the individual and planned structuring of the succession through wills or inheritance contracts.

In addition, we draft and notarize transfer agreements if individual assets are to be passed on within the family during one’s lifetime by way of anticipated succession. After an inheritance, we assist relatives in applying for certificates of inheritance, contracts for the settlement of estates, contracts for the fulfillment of legacies, as well as inheritance proposals.
