Inheritance Law
Estate planning and inheritance disputes
Disabled persons’ wills
A particular focus is on disabled persons’ wills. They are used to structure the long-term inheritance position of a person with a disability while taking account of the interaction with German social-benefits law. Careful coordination of the appointment of heirs, prior and subsequent succession and executorship is essential to reflect the family’s individual and financial circumstances.
Wills and estate planning
The law office advises on drafting and reviewing wills and on structuring succession. The objective is a clear and legally sound arrangement that reflects the testator’s intentions and reduces the risk of later disputes over interpretation.
Executorship
Executorship can be useful for complex estates, long-term testamentary arrangements or situations in which disputes between beneficiaries are foreseeable. Advice covers both the drafting of executorship provisions and questions concerning implementation, duties and disputes involving executors and heirs.
Compulsory shares, communities of heirs and disputes
After a death, disputes frequently arise over compulsory-share claims, administration and distribution of the estate or the dissolution of a community of heirs. The law office assists with legal assessment, negotiated solutions and, where necessary, litigation.
