Drawing up wills and other testamentary dispositions forms the core of our activities in this field. We will provide you with extensive advice on the contents, effects and alternatives of the Law of Succession, whereby provision for the surviving spouse/partner, entitlement to a compulsory portion and coordination with existing Articles of Association play an important role.
When planning the succession of property rights, anticipating succession by giving gifts during one's lifetime is also an important factor. Once again, we provide extensive advice on the possibilities that exist for you. The emphasis here is not just on the fiscal aspects, such as the full use of tax exemptions, but also on options under civil law, for example, granting the donor the right of withdrawal.
In addition, we will draw up provisions for you in case of illness or required nursing, such as a power of attorney for health care and a living will. Furthermore, we will assist you in reaching an amicable settlement of an estate (negotiating and drawing up contracts on the settlement of an estate) as well as in enforcing your inheritance claims by taking legal action. The same applies for enforcement or defence against an entitlement to a compulsory portion of an inheritance.
Finally, our consulting services on inheritance matters include assistance with the execution of a will/liability of estate assets and bankruptcy administration of an insolvent estate.
