As a lawyer specializing in inheritance law, Sarah Liebisch provides legal counsel in all areas of estate planning, probate, and inheritance disputes. In collaboration with Dr. Thomas Bichat, Ms. Liebisch treats each client with the necessary sensitivity and tact in inheritance matters.
Estate planning and will drafting
Attorney Liebisch assists clients with estate planning through comprehensive estate planning services. She advises on the preparation of handwritten and notarized wills, joint wills, and inheritance contracts. She clarifies all essential questions – who should receive what share, how assets can be transferred during one's lifetime, and what tax implications must be considered.
Compulsory share law and business succession
The compulsory share guarantees certain close relatives a minimum portion of the estate, regardless of any testamentary dispositions. Attorney Liebisch advises on calculating compulsory share claims, drafting agreements to waive compulsory shares, and the strict requirements for disinheritance. For those entitled to a compulsory share, she calculates claims, negotiates settlements, and, if necessary, enforces these claims in court.
For entrepreneurs, lawyer Liebisch develops solutions for business succession, taking into account company structures, transfer timing, and tax implications. Her services include advising on family succession solutions, family foundations, and hybrid succession models that combine several approaches.
Probate proceedings and inheritance disputes
Attorney Liebisch guides clients through all phases of estate administration – from applying for a certificate of inheritance to the legally sound division of the estate. In cases involving multiple heirs, she assists with the joint management of the estate, drafts settlement agreements, and represents clients in partition proceedings. She handles will contests and inheritance disputes both out of court and in court.
