Individual arrangements for clear asset distribution
A will or inheritance contract allows you to regulate the estate according to your own wishes and avoid conflicts among heirs. While the will is an individual’s directive regarding their assets, the inheritance contract enables binding agreements between the testator and future heirs. Both instruments offer flexibility but must be precisely worded and structured in compliance with legal requirements to prevent legal disputes.
The lawyers at MTR Legal assist you in drafting and reviewing wills and inheritance contracts. With profound legal knowledge, we support you in documenting your wishes clearly and legally, utilizing tax benefits, and preventing disputes in the event of inheritance.

Clear rules for a legally secure asset distribution
A will is the central tool for individually regulating the distribution of the estate and deviating from the statutory succession. Whether it involves the preferential treatment of certain heirs, establishment of a legacy, or stipulation of conditions – the possibilities are vast. However, the formal requirements of the law must be strictly adhered to ensure the will’s effectiveness.
MTR Legal offers comprehensive advice in drafting a legally secure will. We assist you in formulating clear and precise provisions, considering claims for compulsory portions, and evaluating tax impacts. Our goal is to implement your last will legally and shape the estate according to your wishes.
Joint Planning with Legal Security
An inheritance contract offers the possibility of making binding agreements between the testator and future heirs. It is often used to set up business succession arrangements, reciprocal arrangements, or long-term commitments. Unlike wills, inheritance contracts cannot be changed unilaterally, providing additional security to the contracting parties.
The law firm MTR Legal assists you in designing and reviewing inheritance contracts. We advise you on legal frameworks, clarify tax implications, and help you formulate clear and robust agreements. With a well-thought-out inheritance contract, you create a legally secure basis for harmonious estate regulation.

Legally compliant structuring considering legal claims
Mandatory share claims play a central role in estate planning, as certain relatives, such as children, spouses, or parents, are entitled to a minimum share of the estate irrespective of the will or inheritance contract. Disregarding these claims can lead to contests of the planned estate arrangement.
MTR Legal advises you on considering mandatory share claims in wills and inheritance contracts. We examine how these claims can be fulfilled, reduced, or offset by other arrangements. Our goal is to develop a legally secure solution that considers both your wishes and legal requirements.
Efficient implementation of your estate regulations
A durable power of attorney or the appointment of an executor ensures that your estate is administered according to your wishes. While the power of attorney transfers legal capability to an agent in case of illness or death, the executor ensures the correct implementation of your will or inheritance contract.
The lawyers at MTR Legal assist you in creating durable powers of attorney and planning an executor. We advise you on selecting suitable persons, formulating legally clear instructions, and ensuring that your arrangements are precisely implemented. With our help, you create security for your estate and minimize the risk of disputes.
