Inheritance and bequests – a highly personal topic that requires more than just specialist knowledge.
Anyone who has to settle asset and company succession needs more than just legal expertise. If you want to divide up your assets and transfer your life’s work, you need to be advised with a great deal of empathy. Dr. Katharina Dorth brings both to the table: legal knowledge focused on inheritance law and the empathy that is indispensable for settling personal matters – in all matters relating to the preventive planning of your legal succession as well as in existing inheritance disputes.
Dear Katharina, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?
For me, “To make it simple but significant” means giving my clients guidance through precise and comprehensible advice. My aim is to find solutions that my clients can still understand years later and still consider to be right. My ultimate goal is to create a design that avoids controversy rather than creating conflict.”
At your side in all legal disputes relating to inheritance
When it comes to inheritance, disputes are sometimes unavoidable. If this happens, we make sure that there are not only losers – in the event of conflicts in the dispute between the community of heirs, the interpretation of wills, in disputed certificate of inheritance proceedings or in the enforcement of or defense against claims to a compulsory portion.
