Inheritance & estate

When considering what you want to pass on, practical concerns often intersect with personal wishes. You want your estate to be transferred clearly, fairly and without conflict. Understanding the rules that govern inheritance and the choices available to you is essential.

By defining your intentions in advance and securing them legally, you prevent uncertainty for your heirs. This brings clarity and peace of mind, both now and in the future.

Recognizable situations

Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.

A will allows you to determine who receives which parts of your estate. You may include legacies or specific wishes, but you must respect the legally reserved portions for children or a spouse.

A will must be drafted correctly, whether handwritten, notarial or international. Have it reviewed to avoid contradictions or interpretation issues.

Upon your death, your shares pass to your heirs unless the articles of association or shareholders’ agreements provide otherwise. This can disrupt business continuity if heirs are not involved or have conflicting interests.

Planning ahead through a will, pre-emption rights or tailored arrangements prevents uncertainty and protects the stability of your business.
