Institut für Erbrecht - Your planning for asset succession

Your planning for asset succession

Your strategy for planning asset succession should therefore respect the following points:

• What is the make-up of my assets today and tomorrow?
• What income do I have today and in the future?
• What rules of inheritance law have an impact in the case of death?
• What are the tax implications in the event of my death and in the case of a lifetime gift?
• What tax implications do payments have for receiving heirs?
• What do I have to observe in terms of inheritance law and inheritance tax law?
• What can I initiate early on under certain circumstances to ensure that my assets fall into the right hands and can continue to be used sensibly there?
• How can I ensure that I transfer my assets and continue to have sole use of them despite this?
• How can I avoid disputes between heirs?
• What can I do with my estate or property and to provide ongoing support for those in need?
