What is inheritance law?
Inheritance law revolves around the settlement and distribution of an estate. The estate includes all assets and debts left by a deceased person. Heirs are legally obliged to distribute this estate according to inheritance law. Think of the distribution of real estate, bank balances, debts, and personal belongings.
Unfortunately, there are often also uncertainties about the rights and obligations of the heirs or conflicts arise around the estate. Uncertainties and conflicts around the estate only increase the loss and grief of your loved one. Assistance from a specialized lawyer can help to prevent escalation and resolve conflicts.
