Inheritance and succession – shaping your legacy with legal certainty

Targeted planning instead of legal default

The statutory order of succession is not always the best solution. If you want to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your own wishes after your death, you should take action in advance – through a will or an inheritance contract. We advise you on all options for estate planning, focusing on legal certainty, tax optimization, and family balance.

Our services related to inheritance and succession:

  • Preparation, advice, and notarization of wills and inheritance contracts
  • Structuring of legacies, division arrangements, and conditions
  • Clarifying and drafting compulsory portion regulations and exclusions
  • Support with the acceptance or renunciation of inheritances
  • Estate administration, applications for certificates of inheritance, and settlement agreements

Individual and forward-looking arrangements are particularly important in cases involving patchwork families, business ownership, or real estate assets.

Business succession – plan early and with foresight

Transferring responsibility – legally and financially secure

The transfer of a business – whether within the family or through a sale – places high demands on everyone involved. We support you in the planning, legal structuring, and implementation of your business succession, for example through:

  • Transfer agreements during lifetime
  • Integration into inheritance law concepts (will, inheritance contract)
  • Arrangements for involving the successor
  • Consideration of tax implications

Whether it is a family succession arrangement or a strategic sale – we provide advice with attention to legal, economic, and personal aspects. With calm, experience, and the necessary neutrality.

Marriage and partnership – agreements for special life situations

Building trust through clear agreements

A marriage contract or partnership agreement is not a sign of mistrust, but rather a way to clearly and fairly define legal and financial arrangements – whether before marriage or within an existing partnership.

We provide advice and notarization for, among others:

  • Preventive marriage contracts to regulate matrimonial property regimes, pension rights adjustment, and maintenance
  • Divorce settlement agreements to prepare for an amicable separation

Especially in economically or family-wise complex situations, clear contractual arrangements create trust, reliability, and conflict prevention.
