In the area of inheritance law, we provide you with comprehensive advice and representation—drawing on our experience, sensitivity, and a clear focus on what matters most. Our services range from the legally sound drafting of wills to challenging invalid testamentary dispositions, clarifying statutory or testamentary succession, to the enforcement of claims to a statutory share or the arrangement of bequests. We also stand by your side as a reliable partner in often emotionally taxing inheritance disputes—as well as in estate administration, which involves the proper and fair distribution of the estate.
A legally sound will allows you to clearly express your wishes and avoid disputes among your surviving relatives. We provide comprehensive advice on drafting your will—whether it's handwritten, signed, or notarized. Precise wording is particularly important to avoid later interpretation issues.
If there are doubts about a valid will—for example, due to formal defects, unclear wording, or alleged influence by third parties—we will assess the likelihood of success for a will contest on your behalf. Grounds for contesting a will may include, for example, lack of testamentary capacity, threats, fraud, or mistake. As an experienced law firm, we represent both heirs and beneficiaries entitled to a compulsory share in contesting or defending a will.
A legacy is a special gift to a specific person without naming that person as an heir. It can be monetary, real estate, property, or rights. We advise you on drafting and securing a legacy in a will or inheritance contract.
As heirs or legatees, we review your claims and enforce them if necessary. We also provide legal support in cases of disputed bequests—for example, if the terms of the bequest are unclear or the estate is insufficient.
Intestate succession determines who is entitled to inherit in the event of death if no will exists. Spouses, children, parents, and other relatives are considered in a legally established order of precedence. There is often uncertainty about who inherits what share, especially in patchwork families, registered partnerships, or multi-generational families. We provide you with legal certainty and represent you in enforcing your intestate inheritance claims.
With a will, you determine who receives what. This can be advantageous, for example, for non-relatives or for specific gifts. We support you in optimally drafting testamentary provisions and review existing wills for their legal validity. In the event of a dispute, we represent your interests in inheritance proceedings.
Inheritance disputes often arise from unclear wording in a will, disappointed expectations, or complex family relationships. We represent your interests in all inheritance disputes, whether between heirs, with those entitled to a statutory share, or with legatees.
Our goal: a legally sound, but also as sustainable a solution as possible, ideally through an out-of-court settlement, but if necessary, through court-ordered inheritance proceedings. With experience and negotiating skills, we guide you through difficult conflicts.
Estate settlement involves numerous legal, tax, and organizational tasks: identifying the estate’s assets, settling debts, filing for probate, determining the status of the heirs, and handling matters with banks, insurance companies, and government agencies.
As an experienced law firm, we guide you through all phases of the estate planning process – from probate to the transfer of assets. We ensure a structured, legally sound estate plan and support you in complex or cross-border inheritance cases.
The statutory share grants close relatives—such as children or spouses—a statutory minimum claim to the estate, even if they have been disinherited. It is paid out in cash and usually amounts to half of the statutory share of the inheritance.
If substantial gifts were made during the testator’s lifetime, a claim to supplementary statutory share may arise. This takes such gifts into account so as not to disadvantage those entitled to a statutory share.

There are many legal details to consider, especially when it comes to supplementing statutory shares. We ensure a legally sound, fair solution – in the interest of your entitlement or your protection.
