Our Focus areas

Succession planning

Proactive succession planning ensures the smooth transfer of your wealth to the next generation. These are often sensitive issues that, in addition to qualified legal expertise, require the utmost sensitivity and tact in consulting.

Last will and testament

Rest in Peace!

For a peaceful passing, estate succession should be regulated by the testator.

Based on statutory succession law and your assets, we analyze your initial inheritance situation and modify it according to your wishes and goals.

Durable powers of attorney and living wills

Doesn't hurt at all!

Advance directives and living wills are essential tools to preserve your self-determination in the event of incapacity. With a durable power of attorney, you designate trusted individuals who are authorized to act on your behalf. A living will ensures that your medical wishes are respected and implemented.

Deeds of gift inter vivos and mortis causa

"Receiving is more blessed than giving" - or the other way around?

Gifts, both inter vivos and mortis causa, are important instruments for the transfer of assets. Through early gifts, tax advantages can be utilized and family disputes avoided. We advise you on how to transfer your assets legally securely and according to your wishes while remaining protected in the best possible way.

Partnership and prenuptial agreements

"Until death do us part" - because that's not the only ground for divorce...

Partnership and marriage agreements create clarity and protect both partners from potential future conflicts.

Interfamilial transfer of investments, businesses, and real estate

Transferring investments, businesses, and real estate during the transferor's lifetime is naturally better than a sudden takeover due to illness or death. It is often desired and advisable to keep the senior family members on board as advisory partners. Therefore, planning the transfer should be started in good time. This requires careful legal preparation to minimize tax burdens and ensure a smooth transfer of assets. We support you in the design and implementation of these transfers to preserve your family harmony.

Corporate and inheritance law planning for asset and business succession is about more than purely legal matters. In addition to answering legal questions, emotions and internal family sensitivities are often at the center of these topics. We handle this exceptional situation with empathy, yet also with confidence and a clear sense of purpose.
