In Switzerland, in the event of a person's death, the state is obligated, according to Article 555 of the Swiss Civil Code, to locate heirs. If there is no will or inheritance contract, the inheritance is divided according to the statutory order of succession. If the heirs are direct relatives (persons of the first or second parentage), they are usually easy to identify. However, if they are no longer present, the search for distant heirs becomes significantly more complex. If the responsible authorities are unable to do so, potential heirs are called upon to report within one year. The inheritance claim must be proven with the necessary documents. The loss of close relatives must also be documented – a complex and often difficult process.

 

We offer the following assistance:

• Identification of heirs

• Proof of inheritance rights

• Estate administration up to the distribution of the inheritance according to statutory inheritance quotas

 

Since many people are unaware that they are eligible to inherit, we proactively search for eligible individuals, contact them, and offer our representation. This process generally involves no expense for the heirs we represent.
We do n't require any upfront payment – there's no financial risk for the heirs. We will obtain the necessary documents at our own expense, but we require a power of attorney for this.

Our fee is only charged if an inheritance is actually paid out. It is calculated as a percentage of the inheritance received—an internationally standard model that ensures maximum security for our clients.

If no payout is made, there are no costs.
