Inheritance and giving away
Do you want to give away or bequeath a property? Or do you have the prospect of receiving a free residential property in the next few years?
Regardless of which of the two options applies to you, German real estate law has some pitfalls in this area. Under certain circumstances, inheritance tax can literally ‘eat up’ an entire house. If the tax office is owed more money than the heirs have, a sale is often unavoidable. This can be prevented either by a clever will or by the owner giving the property away during their lifetime.
What initially looks like a lot of effort can really pay off financially. In any case, it is worth addressing this issue at an early stage. And with a competent expert – or a specialist – at your side, all problems can be quickly resolved. We will tell you what tax burden to expect, advise you on the legal issues you need to consider and help you find the right solution for you. Of course, we will also prepare an appraisal of your property.
