Family Law

Legal questions regarding inheritance are often time-sensitive and emotionally taxing. We offer full legal support for succession matters – from drafting a will to representing you in probate or litigation.

Our inheritance law services include:

• Drafting valid wills and testamentary dispositions
• Inheritance agreements and estate planning
• Representation in probate proceedings
• Legal assistance in inheritance disputes
• Legal advice for spouses, life partners and family members
• Analysis of disinheritance, exclusion or unworthiness to inherit
• Preparation for notary proceedings and estate inventory

We guide you through the legal maze of intestate succession, testamentary inheritance, and specific succession issues (e.g. agricultural or inherited assets).

Preparing a will is a responsible decision. With legal assistance, you avoid formal errors and ensure your will reflects your true intentions.

• We help structure and word your will correctly
• We ensure legal compliance with the Civil Code
• Your will can be registered in the Central Testamentary Register (KVNY)

A properly prepared and registered will reduces the risk of disputes and loss.

If a person transfers an asset (typically real estate) in exchange for lifelong care or regular financial support, a maintenance or annuity agreement can be the appropriate legal instrument.

• Maintenance contract = natural obligations (housing, care, support)
• Life annuity = regular monetary payments until death
• Agreements can be tailored and secured by registration in the Land Registry
• We provide clear legal terms to avoid future conflict

An inheritance contract combines elements of wills and maintenance/life annuity agreements. The heir gains ownership only upon the death of the testator, but must provide support or care during life.

• Ideal for elderly or ill individuals needing long-term support
• Useful estate planning tool when the donor wishes to keep the property until death
• Must comply with the formal requirements of testamentary documents
