It encompasses topics such as the drafting of wills, statutory inheritance, the settlement of estates, and the resolution of disputes among heirs.

Individual arrangements for your last will
Creating a will allows you to manage your estate according to your individual wishes. Without a will, the statutory inheritance laws come into effect, which may not always align with personal preferences. It is important to adhere to clear wording and legal requirements to prevent future disputes.
MTR Legal assists you in legally secure crafting of your will. We advise you on inheritance shares, rights of compulsory portion, and specific regulations, such as those concerning minor heirs or the management of business assets. With a well-thought-out estate plan, we ensure that your final wishes are clearly documented and legally sound.
Rights and obligations in estate distribution
Statutory inheritance comes into effect when there is no will or if the will is invalid. In this context, the legitimate claims of close family members, such as children or spouses, can influence the estate. Implementing or countering such claims often requires legal clarification.
The firm MTR Legal offers you comprehensive guidance on your rights and obligations within statutory inheritance and legitimate claims. We assess the validity and extent of the claims, assist in negotiations, and develop strategies to prevent or successfully resolve disputes. Our guidance ensures that the division of the estate is carried out fairly from both a legal and familial perspective.

Legally secure organization of estates
The administration of an estate can be a challenging task, especially when assets are involved both domestically and internationally or when there is a group of heirs. Differing interests among heirs and unclear regulations in the estate can quickly lead to conflicts.
MTR Legal supports you in the legally secure settlement of estates. We assist with the preparation of the estate inventory, clarify outstanding claims, and represent your interests in heir communities. Our advice ensures that the estate settlement proceeds smoothly and legal disputes are avoided.
Competent support in disputes among heirs
Inheritance disputes often arise from unclear testamentary provisions, the division of assets, or differences within the community of heirs. Such conflicts can strain family relationships and often require legal clarification to find a fair solution.
The attorneys at MTR Legal represent you in inheritance disputes both out of court and in court. We assess the legal situation, develop an individual strategy, and assert your claims. Our focus is on effectively resolving disputes and achieving a settlement acceptable to all parties involved.
