An inheritance distribution contract is a way for settling an estate, for example, if the heirs disagree on the distribution of inheritance shares, compulsory portions, or legacies.
Different expectations, emotional stress, or disputes over certain assets — e.g., if property is involved — makes it challenging to reach an amicable solution. In such situations, it is important that heirs seek legal advice individually or jointly as a community of heirs.
Lawbility Rechtsatelier® advises those seeking legal advice on inheritance law, for example in the drafting and negotiation of inheritance distribution agreements, and supports the parties involved through negotiation and mediation. The aim is to structure the conflict and achieve a resolution that is legally sound in consideration of the interests of all parties involved.
What conditions must be met for an inheritance distribution agreement to be legally valid? How can disputes over compulsory portions, legacies, or the executor be resolved through mediation? When is an out-of-court solution more sensible than going to court? Lawbility Rechtsatelier® supports out-of-court solutions when heirs cannot settle their disputes or when the estate is complex.
Lawbility Rechtsatelier® assists heirs in clarifying their rights and obligations and conducts or assists with mediations. Depending on the situation, support is provided through legal coaching, mediation, or legal representation. Are you looking for a lawyer in Zurich?
