Wills
and Estates
It is in the interest of most people to ensure
that when they are incapacitated or die, their assets are managed,
invested and distributed in the way they want. This can be achieved
by tools such as powers of attorney for property and personal care,
trusts and wills, provided that they are properly established. We
help you to plan and design your estate individually and with best
possible efficiency, and provide assistance as well as legal advice
in other estate related issues, especially of a cross-border nature.
Estate litigation has been a
growing part of our practice in recent years. Our
firm
increasingly has been coordinating the administration of
estates in multiple jurisdictions.
We have
litigated a variety of estate
claim situations.
Eric P. Polten has written two
