Schenken - Erben & Vererben

Inheritance law is a broad field and affects people who want to regulate their estate. But it also affects people who, as heirs or a community of heirs, find themselves in a completely new legal situation after a death.

In both cases, legal advice and support are useful and important. Our lawyers and specialist lawyers for inheritance law will be happy to support you with all questions on the topics of “inheritance” and “inheritance”, but also in the area of legal precautions.

Do you need our support? Please feel free to contact us directly!

Before the inheritance / inheritance

Many people naturally find it unpleasant to think about their own death and the arrangement of their own estate. And yet it is important to think about what should happen to their own assets after death – even at a young age!

An estate is never unregulated: the legal succession applies if there are no last will and testamentary dispositions such as a will. However, the legal succession does not always correspond to one’s own ideas. And from a tax point of view, it often makes sense to arrange the estate individually.

If you want to arrange your estate or have questions about the subject of estate planning, we would be happy to be your contact for the following topics, among others:

In this context, our offer is aimed at private individuals who want to arrange their estate. However, we are also the contact for entrepreneurs who want to make arrangements for more than just their private assets. We are also happy to help you with regard to an entrepreneur’s estate – of course also in cooperation with our experts in tax law and our experienced lawyers for corporate law, etc.

After the inheritance / inheritance

When a relative dies, the family in particular is often in an emotional state of emergency. In this already difficult situation, there is a lot of organizational work to do and, in case of doubt, legal matters also have to be considered promptly. This often pushes relatives to their limits after a death.

In this situation, legal advice and support are very helpful in order to gain security in this exceptional situation and to be able to make the right decisions for the future. We are happy to support you after an inheritance, answer your questions, initiate the necessary steps and, if necessary, represent you in inheritance disputes.

We are happy to be your contact for these issues after the inheritance, among others:

When it comes to legal questions after an inheritance, we advise and represent all those people who need legal advice and support in this situation. This means that we are the contact for entire communities of heirs on the one hand, but of course also for individual heirs in disputes with other heirs or those entitled to a statutory share, etc.

Precaution

Considering what should happen to your assets in the event of your death is an important step. However, it is equally important to make provisions for the event that you are no longer able to handle your own legal affairs. Advance directives enable you to do just that: make provisions in the event of an accident or a sudden serious illness.

Advance directives help ensure that your own wishes “count” even if you are no longer able to express them, e.g. when it comes to life-prolonging treatments. On the other hand, advance directives make it easier for relatives to cope with everyday life and to be able to carry out legal transactions in their own interests in the event of an accident or sudden illness (stroke, heart attack, etc.).

My recommendation

It is important to think about how you want to shape your life at the end of your life in good time. This applies to young people as well as older people. Only those who think about their medical care, legal representation in an emergency and their estate in good time – ideally with professional support – will not have to worry about this phase of their life. Heirs should also seek professional advice after an inheritance in order to receive the best possible support in this situation.
