Will & Inheritance
It can be difficult to come to terms with the end of life, but it is always a good idea to take a position. Our advice helps create peace of mind for you and your family.
For many people, it can be difficult to decide what should happen to their assets when they are no longer here. It is a good idea to get your legal documents in order while there is still time. Clarifying matters in advance undoubtedly creates peace of mind and security—both during your lifetime and for your loved ones.
If you have not decided how your estate should be distributed, the Danish Inheritance Act determines who will inherit from you. By deciding in advance, you can help prevent inheritance disputes within the family.
With a will, you have a say in how your estate is to be distributed among your heirs and whether it should be the beneficiary’s separate property.
With a will, you can:
When a person passes away, the probate court convenes a meeting. The probate courts can help answer questions, but they do not provide legal advice or administer the estate of the deceased. It is therefore the surviving relatives who are responsible for putting the legal and financial matters in order and distributing the deceased’s assets of varying value.
Many choose to engage a lawyer for this purpose and to help ensure lasting peace within the family. Even though an estate may seem straightforward, there are many rules and a considerable amount of paperwork.
Heirs may choose to take responsibility for the estate themselves or contact a lawyer they have jointly agreed upon. If the heirs cannot agree, the probate court will appoint a lawyer.

Our experienced lawyers advise and assist with preparing a will based on your situation. We clarify your personal circumstances and what matters to you when you pass away.
