Inheritance law

So that your values remain

It is never easy to come to terms with death - not even your own.

But regardless of whether it concerns property, capital or even the family business: by making clear arrangements at an early stage, you can ensure that your life's work is continued in your best interests. We advise entrepreneurs, shareholders and private individuals on their individual options.

Our lawyers are also there for you in the event of an inheritance. Whether you have a complex estate structure, a community of heirs with potential for conflict or ambiguities in your will - we will provide you with the legal support you need to resolve your case in the best possible way.
