INHERITANCE LAW

[ INHERITANCE LAW & ART LAW ]

Our firm can help you anticipate your succession and prevent and avoid potential conflicts between your heirs.

We work to facilitate the transfer of your movable and immovable assets, while guaranteeing the validity of the solutions adopted and the deeds drawn up (creation of a non-trading property company, donations, testamentary provisions, taking out a life insurance policy, etc.).

Our team, renowned in this field, can help you settle the estate of one of your loved ones, in a context that is often emotionally difficult. We ensure that the terms of the division strictly respect your rights and comply with your wishes.

We guide you in choosing the most appropriate option in light of the inheritance’s financial and tax implications (outright acceptance, acceptance up to the net assets, renunciation in the event of excessive liabilities).

We work in collaboration with notaries and auctioneers to facilitate the administration and liquidation of the undivided estate, and to establish a constructive dialogue with your various contacts (co-divisors, tax authorities, banks, social organizations, etc.).

Dedicated to protecting your interests, we are and act as your partners, able to resolve any disagreements between heirs and develop the negotiating levers needed to formalize an amicable division.

If you feel that your rights as an heir have been disregarded, we are competent to take any contentious action necessary to re-establish law and equity. For example, we can contest the validity of a will if there is evidence of abuse of weakness or lack of consent.

Similarly, we are competent to act in the event that the deceased has made gifts – whether disguised or not – and/or bequests that encroach on your rights as heir (action for nullity, action for reduction), or when one of the co-divisors occupies one of the estate’s assets without untying the purse (payment of an occupancy indemnity).
