The disputes we see most often
- Deadlock among co-heirs on selling, renting or dividing the property.
- An heir who cannot be found or does not respond.
- Reserved-share claims when a will or lifetime gifts left a forced heir with less than the law protects.
- Challenges to a will on grounds of form or capacity.
- Administration conflicts: lack of accounts, use of estate assets by one heir, removal of an administrator.
- Disputes over company shares in family businesses.
How we approach them
- We define what each heir can actually obtain under Argentine law, with numbers.
- We try a negotiated partition or buy-out, which is usually faster and cheaper.
- If there is no agreement, we ask the court for partition, protective measures, accounts or the appointment of a neutral administrator.

An heir who will not cooperate does not stop the case
The succession can move forward even if one heir does not take part. The law provides for notice, court-ordered partition and, where appropriate, the sale of assets that cannot be divided.
