In the event of a death, those affected are inevitably confronted with the subject of inheritance law. Often, no thought was given to this beforehand, as death is still often suppressed today. Yet it is important to deal with one's own estate planning and to react correctly in the event of an inheritance. Since this situation often involves a lot of emotions or internal family sensitivities, it is important when dealing with inheritance law mandates that, in addition to answering legal questions, we also deal with mental needs in an empathetic and confident manner.

Often, our clients turn to us with questions such as: What is the legal succession? What is the succession when a spouse dies? What do children, stepchildren and siblings inherit? How high is the statutory compulsory portion and how is the compulsory portion calculated? When is a will useful and how is a will drawn up?
