Succession and foundation

The transfer of assets from one generation to the next is one of the fundamental questions asked by families and companies with regard to the future. The various options in this regard and their tax implications need to be looked into early on. Arrangements and preparations must be made in due time regarding succession in a company. We advise you on the formulation of wills, contracts of inheritance, affiliation agreements and other arrangements in connection with succession. When it comes to the settlement of estates we devise solutions which are conducive to preventing long and drawn-out disputes. In particular our long-term experience concerning the execution of wills is one of our key strengths.

We handle complex estates including foreign transactions with regard to the respective legal system.

We offer advice to those wishing to set up trusts on issues of establishing and organising the trust and its possible aims, and we help you to register with the authorities and obtain the necessary by laws and approvals. We advise existing foundations in all issues relating to administrating the trust and serving the purpose of the trust.

We are members of advisory boards and boards of trustees. Therefore, our work is not merely academic but in step with actual practice.
