German and International Taxation
We advise entrepreneurs and individuals on almost all aspects of tax law and tax planning – at both national (Germany) and international levels. Globalisation poses special challenges concerning taxation. Effective tax structuring is required and double taxation to be avoided as far as possible. This requires specialist expertise and cross-border tax planning with foresight.
We are also happy to assist you with tax-related questions on gifts and inheritances.

Execution of a Will
The amount of assets inherited and gifted in Germany has increased significantly in recent decades. Experts predict a record volume of up to €400 billion per year for the coming years.
This also increases the need for expert support to ensure the testator's last will is carried out. It is often advisable to appoint an executor in the will to ensure the estate is properly administered and distributed to the beneficiaries. This should be considered particularly in the case of more complex estates, assets abroad, or when there are multiple heirs. In the event of conflicts between heirs and/or those entitled to a compulsory share, the executor acts as a neutral party who makes decisions and prevents or mediates disputes.
If you would like to appoint an executor or simply discuss this topic, please feel free to contact me.
