FAMILY LAW
When a marriage comes to an end, it is not a personal failure, but rather a change in a joint plan that is no longer pursued together. It is crucial to look forward and establish a solid foundation for the future in the event of a divorce. Seeking sound legal advice is essential to achieve this goal.
Binational marriages and marriages abroad require special attention when it comes to legal matters, especially in cases of divorce
Choosing the appropriate jurisdiction for the divorce proceedings can be a crucial advantage, particularly with respect to issues such as maintenance or custody. Seeking early consultation on the available options can benefit both parties involved. It is essential to find a sustainable solution for important matters like shared child custody and future maintenance, as well as the amount of maintenance.
Prenuptial agreement
A prenuptial agreement can provide both parties with legal certainty in the event of a divorce, but it is crucial to review the specifics of what is regulated in the agreement and whether it can be enforced. Seeking legal advice on this matter is advisable to ensure that both parties are fully aware of their rights and obligations.
Our firm provides legal services related to marital protection, separation/divorce, custody, maintenance/alimony, and prenuptial agreements. We understand that these matters can be emotionally charged and complex, which is why we provide personalized and compassionate legal advice to our clients.
Inheritance Law – Do you have a plan for your estate?
Have you determined which national law should be applied? This can be particularly important if you hold a foreign citizenship (according to the Swiss Federal Act on International Private Law). Do you know how your assets will be distributed if you don’t make any arrangements?
Control is better
How can you maintain control over your assets during your lifetime while still providing for your children or grandchildren, without facing unfavorable tax implications? Have you taken steps to ensure that your spouse or close relatives will be responsible for managing your estate after your passing, rather than the KESB (Child and Adult Protection Authority in Switzerland)? And, in the event that you become legally incapacitated and are unable to make decisions regarding your assets, have you made provisions for such circumstances?
Inheritance Agreement and Family Foundation
- Do you understand the potential tax and retirement planning benefits of an inheritance agreement?
- Are you interested in creating a lasting impact beyond your lifetime through a Swiss or foreign-based foundation, whether for your family, cultural causes, or social initiatives?
- How can you legally disinherit an heir who is entitled to a portion of your estate, and which national law should be used to achieve this? Would it be beneficial to appoint an executor?
If you have concerns or questions about these topics or others that may impact you, now is the time to take action and have a say in the matter.
