Inheritance Law and Succession

“One generation builds the foundation. The next takes over. In between, thorough preparation makes all the difference.”

Planning for family businesses and shareholders · Wealth holders and family offices · Spouses and civile partners · Testators and forward-thinking heirs · Associations and foundations

One generation builds it up, and the next takes over. The question between the two is how to make this happen. Assets, equity interests, and responsibilities must be passed on. Ensuring that no conflicts arise and that the assets are preserved requires careful, purposeful planning.

Statutory share, estate tax, business succession: the mechanics are complex, and the consequences are long-lasting. Power to act in estate planning therefore means: We address in good time what will no longer be negotiable later on. We establish structures that will endure – even after the person who built them is gone. To that end, we draft secure agreements that create lasting bonds rather than causing division for years to come.
