Take control of your property rights succession!
Anyone who has built up assets will have to consider, sooner or later, what should happen to those assets in the long term. In any case, it makes sense to take control of your property rights succession during your lifetime. The reason is that legal succession does not generally lead to the desired outcome. When planning your property rights succession, the focus is often on providing for your spouse or partner and ensuring that your assets are transferred smoothly to the next generation. You can achieve these goals during your lifetime (‘gift inter vivos’) or by using the instruments of inheritance law (will or inheritance contract). For further information, please refer to our articles on gifts inter vivos and wills and inheritance contracts.
