Inheritance and Estate Matters

We advise at every stage of the inheritance process under Polish law. We draft and review wills, conduct proceedings to confirm acquisition of inheritance, and manage estate division between co-heirs. We pursue and defend forced heirship claims (zachowek — the statutory share owed to close relatives excluded from a will). We represent clients in heir disputes involving challenges to the validity of a will, unworthiness to inherit, and the accounting of lifetime gifts against the estate. We also handle cross-border estates where the deceased or the assets were located outside Poland, including the application of EU Succession Regulation No. 650/2012.
