Succession, Wealth & Foundations
What has grown over generations needs structures that carry it across generations.
Planning wealth and succession in good time creates certainty — for entrepreneurs, families and future generations. We advise private individuals and business families on all legal and tax questions involved in transferring, protecting and passing on their wealth in a structured way. Corporate law and inheritance law are interlinked here; sound solutions only emerge when both areas work together — and only when the tax consequences are considered from the outset.
From wills and partnership agreements to the administration of complex estates, we support our clients discreetly, reliably and with a long-term view — in Germany as well as in matters with a cross-border dimension.
Our focus areas
- Business and private wealth succession
- German and international inheritance law
- Executorship and estate administration
