FAMILY LAW
It is important to understand that the failure of a marriage does not represent a personal failure, but rather a change in a joint plan that is no longer pursued together. In this sense, it is of great importance to look ahead and establish a reliable basis for the future in the event of a divorce. To achieve this, it is essential to seek good legal advice.
Binational marriages and marriages abroad
For bi-national marriages, it is crucial to carefully consider the choice of applicable law in case of divorce to protect one’s interests with regard to maintenance and custody. Early advice on available options can be beneficial for both parties. In particular, for important matters such as custody of shared children, future maintenance and its amount, finding a sustainable solution is crucial. Therefore, it is advisable to seek professional support early on.
A prenuptial agreement can provide both parties with legal certainty in the event of a divorce
It is crucial to carefully examine the details of the contractual arrangements and determine their enforceability. In addition, seeking legal counsel on this matter can ensure that both parties are well-informed about their rights and obligations.

Inheritance Law
Have you made arrangements for your assets? Have you specified which national law should apply? This is possible if you hold foreign citizenship (IPRG). Are you aware of who will receive what if you do not make any arrangements? We encourage you to consider these questions and take timely action to ensure that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes.
Retain Control in Your Hands
How can you provide for your children or grandchildren during your lifetime without suffering negative tax consequences? Have you ensured that, after your death, your spouse or close relatives are responsible for the administration of your estate, rather than the KESB (Children and Adult Protection Authority in Switzerland)? What happens if you become legally incapacitated and are no longer able to make decisions regarding your assets? It is important to address these questions early and make appropriate arrangements to protect your family and your assets. We encourage you to seek advice from an experienced financial expert to find the best possible solution for your individual situation.
Inheritance Agreement and Family Foundation
Do you have knowledge about the benefits of a will contract regarding taxes and retirement planning?
Would you like to make a sustainable impact with a foundation in Switzerland or abroad, be it for your family or for cultural and social purposes? How can a forced heir be excluded from the inheritance, and which national law is best suited to achieve this goal? Is appointing an executor of a will advantageous or not?
If you are dealing with such or similar questions that could affect you, take the opportunity to assert your influence.
