Wills

With a will, you can securely decide who will inherit from you when you pass away

If you want to decide how your estate is to be distributed, you need to draw up a will. In a will, you can specify who should inherit, how much they should inherit, and whether they should receive any specific property. A will is always necessary to ensure that your heirs are not required to share their inheritance with a current or future partner. This is done through a clause on separate property.

In addition, a will can regulate many other important matters. For example, you can ensure that young heirs do not gain access to their entire inheritance on their 18th birthday, appoint a guardian if your children are minors at the time of the loss of both parents, and decide who should be responsible for executing the will after your death.Därtill finns en mängd andra frågor som också kan regleras i ett testamente. Du kan exempelvis säkerställa att unga arvtagare inte får tillgång till hela sitt arv på 18-årsdagen, välja vem som ska utses till vårdnadshavare om dina barn är minderåriga vid förlusten av bägge föräldrar och besluta vem som ska ansvara för att verkställa testamentet vid din bortgång.  

A will provides security for both you and your loved ones. Without a will, your estate will be distributed according to the statutory rules of succession, leaving many important issues unresolved.Ett testamente innebär en trygghet både för dig och dina närstående. Utan ett testamente ska arvet fördelas enligt lagens standardregler, och många viktiga frågor förblir oreglerade.

We help you draw up a will that meets all the statutory formal requirements, while also guiding you to think ahead in order to avoid conflicts between heirs and to ensure that your wishes are respected when the time comes.

We can assist you with, among other things:
  • Ensuring that your will meets all formal requirements and is legally valid
  • Raising relevant questions and helping you understand the legal framework for inheritance and wills, and how these may affect your loved ones and your property
  • Ensuring that your estate passes to the person(s) you wish
  • Safeguarding your children through provisions on guardianship, separate property, and the appointment of a special administrator
  • Minimising the risk of disputes and making matters easier for relatives at a difficult time
