Inheritance and family law
You cannot change your ancestors, but you can influence your descendants.
Inheritance and family law always involve private and sensitive areas of our lives as well as economic matters, which is why our advice is based in particular on the trust that our clients place in us.
It is especially the case with family-run companies that the question of succession is often not dealt with, or only inadequately so. This can lead to far-reaching problems not only for the individual involved but also for the company itself. All the more when substantial conflicts arise between relatives in the handling of succession.
Our inheritance law specialists will help you arrange the legal succession of companies as well as individuals. We support our clients in the settlement of estates both in and out of court and in handling forced heirship rights. We also provide advice on all matters relating to anticipated inheritance via lifetime transfer and support you in establishing foundations.
Considerable economic and personal consequences are also a risk in the event of divorce. It is not uncommon for the conflict over marital property and maintenance to be no holds barred. This can be averted with prenuptial and pre civil partnership agreements. If maintenance, the pension rights adjustment and equal distribution of accrued gains have not been settled in advance, our family law specialists will focus resolutely on securing your rights.
