Inheritance Law and Estate Planning

A person’s passing is a seminal event with many legal implications that all too often lead to uncertainty and conflict. These unwanted consequences can be mitigated with due preparation.

Living together, separating or divorcing can raise various complex legal questions and have serious financial implications. We advise, assist and represent clients in both amicable and contentious separation or divorce proceedings. We support our clients prior and during their marriage or concubinage in addressing questions about financial consequences and their duties and rights, also in regards to children. We prepare prenups, concubinage contracts and agreements on child support.
