Inheritance and Succession Law
Burchia, Eccher & Eheim advises individuals, families and heirs on all major aspects of inheritance and succession law, providing highly qualified legal assistance in both contentious and non-contentious matters.
We assist our clients with succession planning and the protection of family assets, advising on the drafting of wills, identifying the most appropriate instruments for generational wealth transfers and developing agreed solutions aimed at preventing future disputes among heirs.
We also advise on intestate and testamentary succession and inheritance disputes concerning, among other matters, the validity of wills, the division of estates, forced heirship rights, the determination of the estate and all other matters relating to inheritance and succession law.
Drawing on our extensive experience in cross-border succession matters, we assist Italian and international clients with cross-border estates and successions, including in dealings with foreign authorities and in addressing issues arising from the application of the laws of different jurisdictions.
The Firm also advises on wealth management and generational transfers, assisting with family agreements (patti di famiglia), trusts and other succession planning and asset protection instruments, with particular attention to preserving family wealth and preventing disputes.
