Inheritance Law
An inheritance raises many questions – often in an already difficult situation. We assist you with estate planning, inheritance disputes and arrangements made during your lifetime.
Planning ahead: wills and estate arrangements
Putting your estate in order early protects your loved ones from disputes and uncertainty. We advise you on drafting wills and contracts of inheritance, so that your last will is legally sound and is carried out exactly as you intend.
The compulsory portion: your statutory minimum share
Close relatives who have been disinherited are not left without rights. We examine your compulsory-portion claims, obtain full disclosure of the estate and enforce your claim – out of court or before the courts.
Communities of heirs: when several people inherit together
A community of heirs carries considerable potential for conflict – from administering the estate to its final division. We represent your interests within the community and guide the partition so that you receive your share without unnecessary delay.
Inheritance disputes: clear representation in conflict
Whether the dispute concerns the validity of a will, the interpretation of individual provisions or claims against co-heirs – we represent you firmly and with good judgement. Where an amicable solution is possible, we pursue it; where it is not, we litigate for you.
Legal guidance when an inheritance occurs
Accepting or disclaiming an inheritance, certificates of inheritance, dealing with estate liabilities: important decisions must be taken quickly. We give you a clear overview and handle communication with the probate court, banks and co-heirs.
