INHERITANCE LAW

We advise you on all matters of the Swiss inheritance law. This primarily involves regulating the transfer of assets after a person’s death, but also includes precautionary measures during their lifetime in order to prevent conflicts later on. Our legal advice on law of succession can be of great importance to both testators and heirs. Our expertise covers the following areas in particular:

  • Advice on drafting a will or inheritance contract to ensure that the distribution of assets after the testator’s death is legally secure.
  • Support in the formulation of specific regulations, for example regarding the appointment of heirs, the arrangement of legacies or disinheritance.
  • Clarification of the right to a compulsory portion, particularly in cases where close relatives of the testator have been disinherited or only partially taken into account by a will.
  • Advice on asserting or defending against claims to a compulsory portion.
  • Support in cases of inheritance disputes, such as disputes over the interpretation of a will or conflicts within the community of heirs.
  • Advice on resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation or, if necessary, through litigation.
