The process

How it works

We designed our process so you can handle a German inheritance from anywhere in the world, without confusion or unnecessary travel.

1

You contact us with the German documents

Forward us the inheritance letter, will, death certificate or any court notice you received. We review everything and explain the situation in English.

2

We analyse the estate and legal position

We identify the assets, heirs, applicable law, tax implications and the German authorities involved. You receive a clear written roadmap.

3

We obtain probate and authorisations

We prepare and file the German Certificate of Inheritance application, represent you before courts and notaries, and keep you updated throughout.

4

We settle debts, taxes and formalities

We coordinate inheritance tax returns, settle estate liabilities, transfer or sell assets, and handle all cross-border formalities.

5

You receive the inheritance — we handled it all

Once everything is complete, the net inheritance is distributed to you. Most clients never need to set foot in Germany.
