Inheritance and foresight during lifetime
The so-called legal succession rarely meets the expectations that one has of one's own succession. On the other hand, a wide variety of individual possibilities open up. We assist you in considering testamentary dispositions in a forward-looking manner e.g. with regard to existing rights and tax consequences. In doing so, we take care of your concerns both in the private sphere, as well as in the corporate sector, where it is necessary to avoid a scission of the company as a result of a death by appropriate regulations.
