FAMILY LAW AND

INHERITANCES

Legal support during times of family transition and succession

Family law covers a wide range of personal situations: marriage, divorce, separation, parental authority, alimony, adoption, and parentage. These often sensitive issues require a humane, rigorous, and confidential approach.


Inheritance law, on the other hand, governs the transfer of a deceased person's assets to their heirs. Whether settling an estate, contesting a will, or avoiding conflict between heirs, the assistance of a lawyer is essential to ensure your rights are respected.



Based in Lausanne, our firm supports you in all stages of an inheritance file, whether to anticipate your succession or defend your interests after a death and also for all your disputes or procedures related to family law, amicably or before the courts.
