We design holistic succession plans for the families of entrepreneurs and wealthy private persons – and implement them having regard to all legal and tax aspects. We structure your business and private assets in the context of your particular situation (e.g. by using family companies, real estate companies, holding structures, family foundations). Our clients thereby reap the benefits of our expertise in all relevant tax, inheritance, family and corporate matters including those with an international dimension.

Although it is impossible to exclude risks from the private sphere, these must not impact negatively on the estate. Accordingly, we draft wills tailored to your needs – also for the digital estate – as well as inheritance agreements, statutory share waivers, powers of attorney, enduring powers of attorney, living wills and marriage contracts.

We always seek to avoid conflicts from the very beginning by providing balanced advice. If nevertheless disputes arise, we support you and your family as mediators and conflict managers. In addition, we offer solutions for inheritance disputes before the courts, disputes concerning statutory shares, estate distributions and proceedings before the tax courts.

We assist executors – whether they are private persons, bank advisers, family officers, asset managers, lawyers or tax consultants – in all tax, legal and organisational tasks. In specific cases, we also assume some of the functions of the executors. This averts potential bottlenecks and minimises liability risks.
