Inheritance Lawyer in Vienna
A death in the family often brings not only grief but also disputes among heirs — over the validity of a will, over the forced heirship share, or over how the estate is divided. As an inheritance lawyer in Vienna, Michaele Beauer represents heirs and forced heirs in probate proceedings and enforces claims in court where necessary.
Inheritance & Contract Law
After a parent's death, co-heirs dispute the validity of a handwritten will that clearly favours one of the heirs — and at the same time question the forced heirship claims of the other children. Without a clear agreement, a lengthy probate process threatens to leave the estate effectively frozen.
Representation in the probate proceedings was taken on first, together with a careful valuation of the estate — the foundation for any reliable forced heirship calculation. In parallel, the disadvantaged heirs' forced heirship claim was formally asserted, and negotiations were held with the other co-heirs to reach an out-of-court solution and avoid litigation.
The estate was divided out of court: the forced heirship share was paid out in full, including interest, without a years-long probate dispute. For the client, this meant a fast, predictable outcome — and the certainty that her statutory entitlement was actually enforced.
Inheritance disputes are often family disputes too — an out-of-court solution is frequently in everyone's interest, provided it is negotiated fairly. Michaele Beauer reviews the will, the forced heirship position, and the estate carefully before costs are incurred, and pursues your claims just as firmly in court when an agreement cannot be reached.
