Choice of form of probate

When a family member passes away, decisions must be made regarding the estate. We advise on the various forms of probate and their advantages and disadvantages, including undistributed estates, private administration and estate administration by an executor.

Arrangements prior to death

Often, the problem only becomes apparent once the event has occurred. In many cases, disagreements between heirs can be avoided with timely care. This can prevent many unpleasant situations when death occurs – who is the beneficiary of insurance policies? How should the inheritance be divided? Who should do what? The rules of inheritance law can resolve many disagreements and disputes – but perhaps not always in accordance with the wishes of the deceased.

Our advisors can provide you with an overview of the law and what you need to consider regarding death – while you are still alive.

Correct division of the estate

When an estate administrator is responsible for handling the estate of a deceased person, they must ensure that the assets in the estate are handled and the estate inventory is prepared in accordance with the rules of inheritance law. We are specialists and are authorised as estate administrators by the Probate Court in Odense.
