- Bernhard Würzle, Attorney-at-Law, Certified Executor (DVEV), Mediator: „I have been working in the field of inheritance law for more than 20 years and for many years even exclusively. In particular, I specialize in advising and representing individuals and companies in all questions of asset transfer in lifetime and succession upon death. This includes the drafting of wills, asset transfer among living persons as well as corporate succession considering all aspects of inheritance, company and tax law. On your behalf, I enforce legal claims to inheritance and compulsory portion claims or repel them whether in or out of court.”
