Administration during the succession
The heirs can agree on an administrator, often one of them. If they do not agree, the court can appoint one. The administrator manages the assets, collects income, pays debts and expenses and renders accounts to the heirs and the court.
Inventory and valuation
The assets and debts are listed and valued. The inventory determines each heir's share and the basis for court fees and taxes, so it deserves care.
Partition
- By agreement: the heirs agree on who takes what, with compensation where needed, and the court approves it.
- By the court: if they cannot agree, the court orders the partition, and assets that cannot be divided may be sold.
Heirs abroad
We report on income, expenses and the state of each asset in English, so that heirs who are far away can follow the administration.
What we handle
- Agreements on administration among heirs.
- Periodic accounts and supporting documents.
- Draft partition agreements and their court approval.
- Registration of the assets allocated to each heir.
