AREAS OF CONCENTRATION


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 articles on estates and estate planning with emphasis on the interrelationships between Canada and Germany:
