Certified Specialist Solicitor and Professional Attorney for Succession Law / Law of Inheritance
Since the end of the Second World War, the Germans have reached a level of wealth, which is not to be found in the most other countries. Today as a consequence of this „German Success Story“, assets and legal estates are left by to the older generation, which in former times hardly could be anticipated.
Nevertheless, this is often accompanied by considerable problems: The German Law of Inheritance for the most people is very complex and shows many kinds of considerable "obstacles for understanding".
Aggravating to this problem is added, that the whole subject of inheritance is connected with many emotions: Because everybody, who regulates his own decedent estate is confronted with the problem of his own transitoriness. And when the case of succession has occurred, the feeling of grief often complicates for the heirs an objective contact with all arising questions. If the decedent left several heirs, moreover, the inheritance case often leads to quarrels and disputes and long pent-up conflicts emerge. Because of all these problems, in the Law of Inheritance it is important to get very early help of a competent attorney.
Often people disregard this. Possible results:
Unclear testaments lead to conflicts and dispute. Or people (future "testators") rather chose an (apparently) easy way and do not regulate their estate by a “Last Will”, - in the erroneous assumption, that this is a reasonable choice. The consequence is that the legal succession is valid. This often does not improve the situation, but multiplies the problems in the case of inheritance, because due to the German Inheritance Law a very problematic "community of all heirs" (“Erbengemeinschaft“) may occur. And also heirs often make mistakes: After the decedent´s death they only follow their emotions and begin endless battles around estate questions with other heirs.
Here the attorney can help:
Every testator or decedent causes the best for his descendants and heirs, if he leaves a regular "Last Will", in other words: a structured testament. And heirs can enforce their interests in the case of inheritance better, if an expert has analyzed the legal situation. If a testator and therefore the inheritance is indebted, this is even more important: Because heirs take over not only the property, but also the debts of the testator. Also creditors of a testator operate more successful, if their procedure against the heirs was checked by an attorney before.
The representation of involved parties during all such conflicts and the consultation of testators concerning the creation of a “Last Will” are since a long time main focusses of my juridical activity. Use my specialization and know-how in this area.
