Law of succession

Our main area of practice is Swedish and international law of succession. As most of our assignments during the last fifteen years have related to issues associated with inheritance, our advocate law offices have accumulated extensive experience in these matters.

We assist in all kinds of matters and cases involving issues of inheritance. Such matters may involve advice regarding the need for a marital or cohabitee property agreement or the drawing up of wills or other documents. Other cases may involve assistance with estate administration or various disputes linked to inheritance situations, such as the validity and interpretation of wills or other legal documents or restrictions to the mandatory legal inheritance portion. We also accept appointments by courts to manage and administer estates, referred to as 'estate administrator appointments'.

In addition to matters relating specifically to inheritance, our cases often also involve other legal issues that may arise upon a death. For instance, mention may be made of tenancy law problems or other issues regarding housing, questions concerning the winding up of a business or the implications of a shareholder agreement.
