Will drafting in compliance with the law – how to do it
Formal requirements must be strictly observed in Wiesbaden
In Wiesbaden, statutory succession governs who receives a deceased person’s assets if there is no testamentary disposition such as a will or an inheritance contract. As a rule, spouses or registered civil partners as well as descendants benefit first. If these are absent, other relatives—such as parents or siblings—may also be considered entitled heirs.
With the help of a will, however, the distribution of the estate can be arranged individually. This makes it possible to take into account not only family members but, for example, also long-standing friends or charitable organizations in Wiesbaden as heirs. Especially for partners who are not married, this is often the only way to be protected in the event of inheritance.
Anyone who wishes to draw up a will can do so either by handwritten form or by notarial certification. In the handwritten variant, it is essential to write the entire document personally and to include the place and date. A clear heading such as “My last will” helps to ensure its validity.
The attorneys at our firm in Wiesbaden advise you on inheritance law and support you in recording your wishes clearly and in a legally secure manner. It is always advisable to name all beneficiaries unambiguously and to choose clear wording—this helps avoid later disputes. Rely on the experience of MTR Legal’s attorneys for the careful drafting of your estate arrangements in Wiesbaden.

Joint will or Berlin will
Disinheritance is permissible only in certain cases
In Wiesbaden, many married couples and registered civil partnerships opt for what is known as a joint will, often referred to as a Berlin will. With this form of will, the partners designate each other as sole heirs, so that the surviving partner initially receives the entire assets. Only after that person’s death do the children or other beneficiaries take effect as heirs. This arrangement ensures that the surviving partner remains financially secured and that an estate community does not arise immediately.
However, it should be noted that a joint will in Wiesbaden entails a strong binding effect. Changes or unilateral revocations are generally excluded after the death of one partner or are possible only under certain conditions. Couples should therefore definitely seek the assistance of attorneys in Wiesbaden before executing such a will. Attorneys help implement individual wishes in a legally secure way and draft provisions—such as those regarding possible revocation—clearly. This helps avoid later uncertainties or conflicts among the heirs, and the will complies both with personal intentions and with statutory requirements.

Revoke a will - possible at any time in Wiesbaden
Attorneys for tax-efficient transfer of assets in Wiesbaden
In Wiesbaden, it is possible to revoke or cancel a will at any time. This can be done, for example, by completely destroying the document or by adding a handwritten note such as “invalid” – importantly, both the current date and the signature must not be missing. As soon as a new will is drawn up, the previous one automatically loses its validity. In the case of notarization, there is also the option of cancelling the will by withdrawing it from official custody.
Revocation is significantly more complicated in Wiesbaden in the case of joint wills. In such cases, it is necessary to have the revocation notarized and officially served on the spouse. In order to comply with all legal requirements and avoid later uncertainties, support from experienced inheritance law attorneys in Wiesbaden is advisable. This ensures that all necessary steps are carried out properly and that the entire process is legally secure.

For a disinheritance to be actually effective, various formal and substantive requirements must be met.

Contest a will: We support you
Attorney from Wiesbaden assesses grounds for contesting
In Wiesbaden, there are numerous situations in which contesting a will may be considered. Common triggers include, for example, uncertainties about the deceased’s mental state when the will was made, errors in wording or signing, as well as deception or misunderstandings. Even when statutory heirs have been passed over in a will, the desire often arises to assert one’s own claims. Attorneys from Wiesbaden are able to carefully examine the individual circumstances and determine whether a contestation has prospects of success. In doing so, not only the personal background but also the relevant statutory provisions are taken into account. Anyone who is unsure whether a will can be legally challenged should contact experienced attorneys in Wiesbaden in order to obtain a well-founded assessment and support for the further course of action. A precise analysis of each individual case is decisive in order to safeguard one’s rights in an inheritance matter and gain clarity regarding the chances of success of a contestation.
