Estate of the deceased
Dealing with an estate can be a sensitive and often complex process that requires both legal insight and human understanding. We help with everything from probate and estate inventory to liaising with authorities and practical tasks such as selling assets.
In estates with many assets and perhaps active businesses, there are also many business and tax law issues to deal with.
Our goal is to make the process as clear and smooth as possible, so you and your loved ones can focus on getting through a difficult time.
Get legal advice on a wide range of topics:
Private probate and administrator's estate
We advise on the choice of probate and handle cases as executor when necessary.
Unchanged estate
We advise on the possibilities for an undivided estate and help you prepare the necessary documents, including an overview of assets.
Opening status
An opening inventory is an initial listing of the estate's assets and liabilities on the date of death. We take care of the preparation of the inventory.
Estate inventory
At the end of the estate administration, we prepare an estate inventory with an account of the administration of the estate and a final account.
Assets of the estate
All of the estate's values and assets are handled, including properties, contents and chattels, the deceased's accounts and the sale or liquidation of any business.
Creating funds
We assist in setting up foundations if the deceased's wishes or will so dictate.
Contact with authorities etc.
We take care of all necessary communication with the probate court and tax authorities, the deceased's bank, utility companies, pension and insurance companies.
Other estate administration tasks
We help with all other tasks related to estate administration, including filing a proclamation, heir investigation, paying bills, blocking mail, organising estate meetings, tax returns, etc.
