Law Firm for Inheritance Law

The planned transfer of assets and the orderly succession in the management of a business demand a combination of deep specialist legal knowledge and the highest degree of human sensitivity. Only in this way can sustainable, tailored solutions be achieved. As an experienced law firm, we know that timely planning protects family values. hba Rechtsanwälte offers you well-founded guidance in this regard.

Accordingly, we have tailored our personal inheritance law advisory services and their practical implementation precisely to these high requirements. Every specialised lawyer in our team supports you discreetly in the legally sound formulation of your last will and testament. Whether it concerns the drafting of a precise will, the design of a comprehensive inheritance contract, or the forward-looking regulation of statutory compulsory shares — we ensure that your assets are passed on in accordance with your wishes. Careful legal planning protects family wealth and effectively minimises the risk of protracted, emotionally charged inheritance disputes within the family.

A particular focus of our firm lies at the close intersection with corporate and tax law, which makes us the ideal partner for family businesses and private business owners. When it comes to the complex transfer of assets and the orderly succession of a business, it is essential to safeguard the operational structures in such a way that liquidity shortfalls threatening the company’s existence — arising from payment claims — are avoided. To this end, we provide comprehensive legal advice, examine pre-emption rights under shareholders’ agreements, and assist with the establishment and administration of private foundations. An experienced inheritance law attorney always keeps the broader picture in mind, in order to consistently secure the economic continuity of your life’s work across generations.

When an estate case arises, we stand as a reliable support for heirs, those entitled to compulsory shares, and surviving dependants throughout the formal probate proceedings. We accompany you competently to appointments with the notary, assist you in submitting the legally correct declaration of acceptance of inheritance — whether conditional or unconditional — and take on the dedicated representation of your interests vis-à-vis co-heirs. With the expertise of hba, you gain legal certainty and a clear, structured handling of all inheritance law matters.
