Estates & inheritance

Settling an estate properly and resolving long-blocked joint ownership.

Our approach

Estates bring together precise inheritance rules and family situations that are rarely simple. The joint ownership that follows a death can drag on for years, blocking the management and sale of the assets concerned.

We help heirs establish their rights, organise the division of the estate and, if disagreement persists, bring court proceedings. We also act in advance, to plan a transfer during one's lifetime.

What we do

Identifying the heirs and the order of succession
Preparing estate documents and formalities
Amicable division and ending joint ownership
Estate litigation and court-ordered division
Wills, bequests and gifts within the legal framework
Estates with an international element

Frequently asked questions

How do you get out of a deadlocked joint ownership?

When amicable division fails, the law allows any co-owner to seek division through the courts. We bring the proceedings and follow the valuation and auction process through to actual distribution.

Can you plan your estate during your lifetime?

To some extent, yes, through regulated mechanisms that must respect the applicable inheritance rules. We look at what is possible in your situation and secure the related documents.

Can an heir be excluded from the division?

No, except in the limited cases provided for by law. If you believe you have been excluded or wronged, there are actions to have your rights recognised and obtain a proper division.
