Inheritance law
Our firm assists its clients in the settlement of French and international successions.
We can notably intervene to organise the advance transfer of wealth, or to support heirs or beneficiaries of wills through what can be complex procedures.
The lawyer’s role then falls within a logic of cooperation and coordination with the various parties involved in the succession (notaries, bankers, insurers, co-heirs, asset managers, estate agents, property managers, etc.).
Aware that many situations of deadlock exist, we help heirs resolve any difficulties encountered — notably with other beneficiaries — through conciliation or negotiation where appropriate, while being best placed to defend their rights when judicial litigation is warranted or imposed on them.
Backed by solid expertise in private international law and operating in several working languages (French, English, Spanish…), we regularly handle international successions, both for heirs based outside France and in situations where the estate is spread across several States.
