Succession Law
Legal assistance may include advice before initiating probate proceedings, preparation of documentation, representation of heirs, analysis of wills, agreements among heirs, compulsory portion issues, challenge of dispositions and related land registry or proprietary proceedings. In succession matters the aim is to regulate transfer of property clearly in law, but also to avoid unnecessary prolongation of proceedings where a reasonable agreement among the parties is possible. Where dispute cannot be avoided, claims must be raised and evidence collected in good time.
- probate proceedings
- wills and validity of testamentary dispositions
- declarations of inheritance and agreements among heirs
- compulsory portion and heirs’ rights
- property disputes connected with the estate
- land registry entries after inheritance
- gifts and other dispositions relevant to succession
Succession matters are handled with understanding of personal and proprietary context, but with a clear focus on documentary evidence, legal deadlines and the possibility of amicable settlement.
