Inheritance law
HFG - Advogados supports its clients in the area of national and cross-border inheritance law, as well as in the succession of foreign assets, namely:
-
Estate planning and structuring, asset structuring and administration, as well as all activities related to the settlement of an inheritance, with special attention to tax law aspects. Our advice is based on Portuguese inheritance law, but we also advise on foreign inheritance laws
-
Globalisation is very much reflected in the area of inheritance law, as international aspects are increasingly present in successions. Either because the testator and heirs live in different countries and/or the assets are located in different countries. In this respect, the European Inheritance Regulations, which regulate the inheritance law to be applied in the event of succession, form an essential part of our legal counselling practice in cases of cross-border succession
