Practice Areas Description

We are specialists in inheritances with international aspects (international inheritance law) and are one of the leading law firms in this field. There may, for instance, be an international connection if the testator was not German, if the testator or transferee had a (tax) domicile in Germany or if the estate is located partially or completely abroad.

Our focus is on states where the official or common language is English, Spanish or French. For this purpose we also have special web pages. If other states are involved in multinational inheritance cases, we also consult in cooperation with partner law firms specialising in the law of other countries.

We provide comprehensive advice on inheriting and bequeathing. Standard situations a

consulting on how to avoid inheritance tax
estate administration
help in drafting a will
inheritance disputes (e.g., contesting a will, statutory share, community of heirs)
If our clients so request, we can also provide solutions for problems that commonly arise with regard to inheritance in the field of real estate and building law (e.g., legalisation of buildings built without construction permits, assistance in legally admissible sale of the property, etc.).
