Inheritance law

Often, death comes unexpectedly and the loved ones left behind are confronted with a number of questions and difficulties. It makes sense to address these issues early on and to prepare in advance. Once someone passes, the clock starts ticking for deadlines on asserting legal claims. It is best to get an overview of the situation right away. We provide our clients with advice and support in the following areas:

• Estate planning advice

• Editing and reviewing wills, inheritance contracts, agreements on the division of property and powers of attorney

• Advice on heir status, e.g. acceptance, renouncement, public inventory

• Representation before the courts in all inheritance matters, e.g. rescission of wills, distribution of an estate, settlement etc.
