Lawyer for inheritance and probate law in Austria — advice on wills, probate proceedings, compulsory share rights and disputes between heirs.

Our firm specializes in written probate proceedings conducted on behalf of heirs — in particular for international clients with real estate holdings in Austria.

Handling official channels: We take over all correspondence with the Austrian probate commissioner and sign the Record of Death in the presence of the notary on behalf of the client. Clients maintain contact exclusively with the firm while we manage all necessary stages of the probate proceedings.

Advice on inheritance acceptance declarations: In collaboration with inheritance-tax specialists experienced with foreign clients, we advise on conditional and unconditional inheritance acceptance declarations and cross-border tax questions.

Expedited process: We prioritise efficient and rapid completion of probate proceedings — particularly with regard to the release of real estate and bank accounts to the heirs.
