Estate Planning – Passing on Your Assets With Purpose
With forward-looking estate planning, you can ensure that your assets are transferred in accordance with your wishes and that conflicts are avoided. The key aspects of estate planning go far beyond the preparation of legally compliant wills. Our experienced lawyers advise you on all forms of testamentary dispositions, anticipated arrangements (gifts), and inheritance contracts, as well as on the legally compliant and practical structuring of a business succession.
Our advice takes into account not only legal and tax considerations but also your personal values and your family’s needs. In this way, we develop tailor-made solutions designed to last.
As part of our international network Ally Law, we are also able to provide high-quality legal support in international matters.
Foundations – Preserving Values, Shaping the Future
A foundation offers the opportunity to preserve assets in the long term and dedicate them to a specific purpose – whether for your own family, for charitable causes or for business continuity. To ensure that a foundation can fulfill this purpose in the long term, it must be planned with great care.
Our expertise includes, in particular, the drafting of foundation deeds and supplementary foundation deeds. In doing so, we make full use of the statutory scope for structuring foundations—taking into account the case law of the highest courts—in order to translate the founder's individual intentions into the most legally secure form possible. In addition to establishing the foundation, we also support you in its ongoing administration and, where necessary, in adapting foundation structures to changing legal or family circumstances.
With many years of experience in advising and representing over 35 foundations and trusts, we support founders, foundation bodies, and beneficiaries with sound legal knowledge and a deep understanding of economic and family relationships. Our lawyers are themselves experienced foundation directors who successfully advise founding families and have extensive expertise in the sensitive topic of "generational transition."
