ADVICE ON COMPANY SUCCESSION AND INHERITANCE, WILL EXECUTION AND INHERITANCE TAX RETURNS IN DUISBURG AND RHEIN-RUHR

TIME DOESN'T GO BY ANY FASTER THAN IT USED TO, RATHER WE RUN HASTIER BY IT.

(George Orwell, English writer)

Company succession is a long-term, strategic issue. Time constraints will weaken your position. Arrange your family-internal or external company succession at an early stage and take advantage of the various tax incentives.

Around 1.5 million owners of medium-sized companies in Germany are over 55 years old. That’s about 39% of all entrepreneurs. A succession wave is expected in the next few years. At the same time, around 45% of entrepreneurs have not even considered succession. (Source: KfW 2017)

  • Do you already have a successor for your company?
  • Is your succession already tax-structured and optimised?
  • Is your retirement already fully financed and your family secure?
  • Have you already drawn up a will, had it coordinated with marriage and/or partnership agreements and considered inheritance taxes?
  • Is there a notarised power of attorney?

If you can’t answer these questions with a “Yes” then you’ve come to the right place! A succession and inheritance plan not prepared by a professional could have massive effects on provisions in old age and on your family, even risk bringing your business to insolvency.
