You're never quite ready
A death in the family is always a very poignant event. Unfortunately, sooner or later we all face it. With every death, certain formalities come along, while your head is not ready for them at all.
Our experts explain the complex inheritance law to you in clear language, and assist you with advice and assistance in each of the following phases.
Advice and guidance
Have you thought about what would happen if you died unexpectedly tomorrow?
- Do you know who will receive what?
- Is your partner sufficiently protected?
- Would you have liked a different arrangement, or had certain matters already been arranged before the death?
- Do you also hope to avoid procedures in this way?
It is best to ask yourself these and other questions well in advance of a death.
We are happy to make the time to map everything out together with you, and after appropriate inquiry into your concerns and wishes, we suggest a suitable proposal for an arrangement.
First aid after death
Just after a death, important matters also have to be arranged, while at that moment you prefer to focus or deal with your loss.
For example, a tax declaration of inheritance must be made. Various rules must be respected in this regard. As soon as there is some complexity, this task is best left to an expert.
- Sometimes it is not at all clear who inherits from the deceased.
- Is there a will?
- Is this valid?
- What if the assets were left therein no longer exist upon death.
- What about the donations already made?
Settlement Division and Dispute Assistance
Finally, when the heirs are known and the estate has to be divided, it happens very often that no agreement is reached between all the heirs.
The lawyers of Wanted Law are happy to relieve you of any worries with appropriate advice, and - if an amicable settlement proves impossible - with useful assistance in the procedure of liquidation-distribution before the court and notary.
