Special Focus Areas
Inheritance and Family Law, Living Wills and Powers of Attorney
What happens if something happens? We structure and implement preventive measures for your personal and business purposes.
What is to happen after I am gone? You determine the goals of your succession and inheritance planning involving your private and business assets. On this basis, we create tailor-made solutions paying particular attention to the interaction between corporate and marital property law as well as relevant tax issues. If you consider forming or using a foundation or other non-profit entity, we will advise you based upon our longstanding legal and practical experience.
In this area we advise on and notarize
- wills and inheritance contracts;
- prenuptial agreements and divorce settlement contracts;
- agreements on the division of the estate and applications for certificates of succession;
- anticipated inheritance contracts and transfer of ownership agreements;
- establishment of charitable and private interest serving foundations involving living persons or by last will and testament;
- special and general powers of attorney as well as living wills.
Furthermore, one of our founding partners frequently serves as an executor of wills.
