Probate and inheritance distribution – expert help for life-changing situations
In addition to grief, the passing of a loved one also brings with it practical matters that must be handled carefully and in accordance with the law. I offer expert and reliable help in handling probate and inheritance distribution – clearly, efficiently and with respect for the client’s situation.
Probate
Probate is a statutory transaction that must be arranged within three months of death. I will take care of the entire process for you from start to finish:
preparation of the probate
acquisition of necessary documents
drawing up the will
I ensure that everything is handled correctly and on time to avoid potential problems later.
Probate
Probate can be a simple or complex process depending on the assets and the situation of the parties. I help in both amicable and contested situations:
planning the division and distribution of the estate
drawing up the distribution deed
negotiations between the parties
duties of the estate administrator if necessary
My goal is to find a solution that is legal and as functional as possible for all parties.
-
The estate registration must be submitted within three months of death. If necessary, you can apply for an extension of the deadline from the Tax Administration.
-
In principle, you can handle the estate registration yourself, but in practice many people use a lawyer or other expert to ensure that everything is done correctly. A professional ensures that the documents and tax-related information are in order.
-
Required documents include:
official certificates of the deceased and heirs
possible will
information about assets and liabilities (e.g. bank accounts, real estate, loans)
I will help you compile the necessary documents.
-
The duration depends on the size of the estate and the availability of documents. A simple estate registration can be completed in a few weeks, while larger entities may take longer.
-
In the distribution of the inheritance, the deceased's assets are divided among the heirs. If necessary, a partition can be made before the distribution if the deceased was married or in a registered partnership.
-
Yes, you can, if all parties agree. However, it is recommended to use an expert to ensure that the distribution is carried out in accordance with the law and to avoid possible conflicts.
-
If an agreement cannot be reached, you can apply to the district court for an estate administrator. The estate administrator will distribute the inheritance impartially in accordance with the law.
-
The price depends on the scope and complexity of the case. I always provide an estimate of the costs in advance so that you know what to expect.
-
Yes. You can also contact us with a single question or in an unclear situation – you will receive a clear assessment of the options and further actions.
