In Germany it is possible to become an heir, even when the deceased did not provide a will. It is regulated in the “Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch”, § 1922. This ensures that takes care of the deceased’s debt and estate. Thus, causes both rights and obligations for the heir. It does not matter where the heir resides or if they were close to the deceased.
I advise heirs and testators regarding all questions with respect to succession in property rights.
For Heirs:
- assertion and enforcement of hereditary titles
- consultation in case of heritage over-indebtness
- execution of a will
- solving coheirs disputes
- assertion and enforcement of statutory share claims
- international inheritance law
- adminstration of estate for domestic and foreign assets
For Testators:
- advising in all matters regarding your will: preparing wills
- health care proxy and living will
- anticipated successions
- disinheritance
- will in favor of a disabled person
