Initiating testament and inheritance planning in good time
Foresighted estate planning ensures that your assets are passed on in accordance with your wishes. For this purpose you will need to take important decisions and initiate the right measures: distributing the inheritance, drawing up a last will and testament, if necessary appointing an executor, or finalising your corporate successor. These steps are demanding, and depend upon the current matrimonial property regime and statutory inheritance regulations in force in Switzerland.
In order to ensure that the best solution can be found for you and for your personal family and asset circumstances, it is worth talking to an independent expert. The estate team at VZ will advise you comprehensively on all questions relating to your testament and inheritance planning, and will help you implement the necessary measures.
