Last wills and testaments
If you are married and have children, your spouse and children are your heirs. If you are not married or registered as a civil partner, then your children are your joint heirs. If you die without leaving a partner and children, then your parents, brother(s) and sister(s) inherit your estate. If this does not match your wishes, drawing up a last will and testament is advisable. In the will, you can name the people you want to inherit your estate.
Your wishes, legally anchored for the future
Control over your estate
In addition, a will allows you to appoint a guardian and an administrator for (minor) children, determine who should arrange your funeral, who should settle the estate, and exclude your children’s partners from your estate. A properly drafted last will and testament not only provides clarity for your next of kin, but can also provide tax benefits. Our specialists will advise you on how to best protect your assets and pass them on to the next generation.
