Inheritance law

Inheritance law not only concerns legal and economic issues, but often also familial and personal relationships. Especially in inheritance disputes, differing interests, emotional burdens, and complex legal questions collide. Therefore, it is all the more important to have advice that, in addition to legal precision, also considers sound judgment, sensitivity, and economic foresight.

A key focus of our legal practice is drafting individual wills and preparing the assets for transfer to the next generation. This requires considering both the family situation and the composition of the assets to create sustainable and legally sound solutions for the long term. The goal is to avoid disputes as early as possible and to ensure the testator's wishes are implemented unambiguously in the law.

Special requirements arise particularly when the interests of a disabled child must be considered during estate planning. By creating a so-called special needs trust, inheritance rights can be secured while simultaneously preserving existing social welfare entitlements. Careful and forward-looking planning is of paramount importance in this sensitive area.

Further areas of focus include disputes over compulsory shares of inheritance and representation before probate and civil courts. We also advise on prenuptial agreements with inheritance law implications, as well as on the drafting of powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives. Our aim is always to find a legally sound, practical solution tailored to the individual interests of our clients.

We generally do not provide our own tax advice on tax-related matters. However, where necessary, we work closely with tax advisors to provide comprehensive support for even complex succession planning.
