OUR RESEARCH TEAM

THE HEART OF OUR COMPANY.

The research team works closely with our international department to efficiently and resolutely investigate both German and foreign inheritance matters. We employ all available online resources, archives, and an international network of correspondents to reliably locate heirs.

OUR DOCUMENTATION TEAM

IN SERVICE OF EVIDENCE.

The task of the documentation department is to prove the lineage of the heirs we identified. To do so, they acquire all necessary vital records from the relevant authorities, archives, and courts. If any given document has not survived the past decades (or even centuries), or if the family tree extends to a period before vital records were officially maintained, our team of experts will find alternative proof to document your claim to the estate.

OUR CERTIFICATE OF INHERITANCE TEAM

LEGALLY COMPETENT.

The certificate of inheritance department verifies all collected documentation and prepares the certificate of inheritance authorization by a notary public. The process is consistently monitored in cooperation with our attorneys until the certificate of inheritance is issued by the probate court. Our team works closely together with and under the guidance of our legal department.

OUR ESTATE SETTLEMENT TEAM

CAREFUL AND EFFICIENT.

Once the certificate of inheritance has been issued, it is the job of the estate settlement department to collect the inheritance and distribute it to the heirs. Their work includes, among other things, closing the decedent’s accounts, preparing the inheritance tax application with our accountant, valuing and liquidating assets and real estate, and cooperating with attorneys and notaries in preparation of the estate settlement.
