Inheritance and gifts

Inheritance is often the moment when questions of property, contracts and family relations all come up at once. The office represents clients in probate proceedings and assists with inheritance rights and the forced share, wills, heirs’ agreements and partition of inherited property, as well as disputes arising from them. Property relations can also be arranged during one’s lifetime through a gift contract or a lifelong maintenance contract. Tax consequences are considered as part of the legal analysis of each transaction.
