Inheritance & Succession
To avoid later disputes under inheritance law between the heirs and possible further beneficiaries and to ensure that one’s own ideas are implemented after death, it is advisable to establish appropriate inheritance arrangements during one’s lifetime.
For entrepreneurs, their own company is their life’s work, created over years if not decades, and is much more than just an asset and their own workplace. This makes it all the more important for entrepreneurs to ensure that their life’s work will continue after their own death – for the future of their employees as well as for any successors from their own family. For this reason alone, the entrepreneur should deal with the topic of inheritance law and company succession at an early stage and make the necessary decisions and legal arrangements with care and expertise.
