Probate & Certificate of Inheritance
We obtain the German Certificate of Inheritance (Erbschein), prepare every court application and coordinate with the probate court — without you travelling to Germany.
What we handle
Everything a German estate demands
You receive a letter from Germany. We take care of every step that follows — legal, fiscal and administrative.
Comprehensive German Inheritance Services
Cross-border succession
We determine which law governs the estate, resolve conflicts between German law and the law of your country of residence, and structure the process accordingly.
Estate administration
From opening the estate account to settling debts and distributing assets, we run the complete administration on your behalf.
Inheritance tax
We calculate German inheritance tax exposure, apply the available allowances and reliefs, and coordinate with German tax advisors to keep the burden low.
Property & asset transfer
We arrange the transfer or sale of German real estate, securities and other assets, including notary appointments and land registry entries.
Disputes & mediation
When co-heirs disagree, we negotiate settlements, represent you in German inheritance proceedings and protect your share throughout.
Not sure which of these applies to you?
That is normal. Send us what you received from Germany and we will tell you exactly where you stand.
