Process of Will Execution
From will creation to inheritance distribution
Will creation
The testator designates a will executor in their will and defines their tasks.
Inheritance & acceptance
After the inheritance case, the will executor is informed by the probate court and accepts the office.
Estate identification
We record all assets, secure valuables and create an estate inventory.
Debt settlement
Estate liabilities are reviewed and settled. We clarify open claims and obligations.
Legacy fulfillment
Individual legacies are handed over to the beneficiaries – according to the testator's will.
Estate distribution
The remaining inheritance is distributed among the heirs. After completion, the will execution ends.
