Corporate Succession & Inheritance Law

Planning for tomorrow

Our services:

• Drafting of powers of attorney for health care, living wills, and general powers of attorney
• Drafting of succession clauses that correspond to the interests (contracts of inheritance, testamentary dispositions and accelerated inheritance) and accompanying measures (prenuptial agreements, articles of association)
• Avoiding or reducing disadvantageous effects on income tax due to inheritance
• Development of measures to protect against influences from outside the family
• Restructuring to prepare for the next generation
• Preparation of comparisons of the tax burden
• Execution of the will and assistance with handling communities of heirs
• Development of concepts for the tax-optimized division of estates
• Proceedings and mediation in cases of inheritance disputes
• Legal remedies and proceedings in matters pertaining to estate tax

Using an integrated approach, we assist companies and their families in optimizing their succession arrangements relating to tax matters. With this in mind, we aim to reduce the burden of expenditure for companies and successors and to secure the continued existence of the company. At the same time, our consulting service is also aimed at advising transferring owners and their families on the best possible legal protection. However, a company should prepare in advance in case the owner is not able to continue the business due to an accident or an illness. We assist you in preparing a power of attorney that covers eventualities relating to your company, your personal health and any other personal matters.
