DIVISION OF INHERITANCE - SETTLEMENTS AND ABOLITION
CO-OWNERSHIP
Estate division is the division of inheritance assets between heirs, as when an estate is acquired by multiple heirs, joint ownership is established between them. The purpose of estate division is to eliminate this joint ownership and determine which assets will be distributed to each heir. Estate division can be either contractual or judicial. Our law firm assists in amicable estate division through discussions/negotiations and the preparation of agreements, which help avoid costly and lengthy court proceedings. In the event of conflicts, we represent clients in court, combining inheritance matters with other legal matters, such as the dissolution of joint ownership.
CASES ON LEGITITUTE OF PARTY - WHEN IS IT WORTH IT?
SEEK THE HELP OF A LAWYER?
A specific area of legal assistance provided is the issue of compulsory share, meaning the benefits due to the deceased's immediate family members. The assistance provided by our firm includes determining the value of the compulsory share, representation in legal disputes, and amicable negotiations. We support both those seeking to claim compulsory share and those obligated to pay it.
SUCCESS PLANNING
We advise clients on estate planning, the process of managing assets upon death, which aims to ensure the smooth transfer of assets to heirs in accordance with the testator's wishes. Estate planning encompasses legal and financial measures that minimize the risk of disputes and family conflicts following the testator's death, optimize tax burdens, and protect the interests of loved ones. Estate planning includes:
Well-conducted estate planning helps avoid legal and financial chaos after the testator's death and ensures the protection of assets and their smooth transfer.
- Leaving a will that expresses the testator's wishes regarding the division of property.
- Transfer of property (or part of it) during one’s lifetime in a controlled manner, e.g. through a donation agreement.
- Introducing a succession manager when running a sole proprietorship.
- Using mechanisms that allow for long-term asset management - establishing a family foundation or company.

MANAGING INHERITANCE DEBT
It is important to remember that an inheritance does not always mean financial benefits – it may also involve taking over the deceased’s debts. In such a situation, we help clients avoid bearing the burden of the testator’s financial obligations.
