Succession, Estate Planning and Trusts
Organising, protecting and transferring wealth, in Switzerland and abroad.
— Detail
Estate planning makes it possible to organise the transfer of wealth, preserve the balance within the family and anticipate the legal and tax consequences of an estate.
We assist with the drafting of wills and inheritance agreements, the organisation of lifetime gifts, the transfer of family businesses and the planning of estates involving international elements.
Our practice also covers all stages following the opening of an estate. We act as executors, assist our clients with the administration, settlement and distribution of complex estates, and represent them before the courts when disputes arise among heirs.
We also advise our clients on the creation, structuring and governance of trusts and foundations, particularly in a family or philanthropic context, taking into account their legal, tax and succession aspects.
