Legacies

You can transfer you whole assets to an heir, but you can also leave single objects to other persons. You can make this arrangement by a legacy.

We help in the formulation of such legacies. We also show what happens when the persons entitled to compulsory portions are impaired by that or if the bequeathed object almost represents the entire fortune.

Exact formulations are particularly important so that the desired aim can be achieved

Business Succession

Hardly a business decision is as important as the decision on the question of who should continue the company. Inheritance decisions must be consistent with the company law provisions in line, if you are not sole traders or sole shareholder of his company.

What happens if the potential heirs are underage, or at least still in vocational training?

Which of several heirs is appropriate to continue the business?

Only timely and clear rules help t to transfer the company without prejudice to the next generation.

We shall be pleased to advise you.

Executorship

In order to be sure that his last will will be followed, the testator may order an execution of a will in the will or execution of a will. The executor then has to make sure after the death of the testator that the inheritance is dealt with as the heir wanted.

The arrangement of executorship is particularly appropriate when possible heirs are underage and great wealth or entrepreneurial assests exist.

We help you in formulating clauses of the execution of will. Of course, we also take on executions of a will.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for a consultation on it.

Litigation

Processes among heirs or from the compulsory portion against the heirs can not always be avoided. They are often very emotional because the applicants feel disadvantaged or they really are. We perform the necessary processes for you. We pay attention that these processes are carried out with the necessary objectivity.
If your claims are not known to you, because you do not know the extent of the estate, information is first sought and then quantified the claim on the basis of this information. Do you know the estate, an action for payment is immediately applicable.
If one makes wrongly claims on you, we will help you ward off these claims.

Estate administration and estate bankruptcy

Estate administration and estate insolvency are ways to avoid the liability of the heirs for the legacy with their personal assets. It is unclear whether the assets exceed the liabilities or whether even outweigh the debt, the inheritance can first be adopted in order to get things straight what the financial situation looks. If it remains unclear whether the estate is sufficient to satisfy the creditors of the estate, the heir may make an application to order the administration of estates.

If the heir becomes aware of the insolvency or over-indebtedness of the estate, he must immediately request the opening of insolvency proceedings of the inheritance.

An over-indebted estate represents a significant risk for the heirs. If a measure is not timely introduced to limit the liability, the heirs are liable with their personal assets. We provide comprehensive advice, what to do if the deceased was in debt and provide for all the necessary applications to the court.
