Executors and estate partitioners

Estates

We offer our services as executors and estate partitioners—key roles in estate planning when the testator needs a trusted person who, after his death, will ensure his wishes are carried out, distribute the estate rigorously, and help prevent disputes and litigation among heirs. An independent professional brings neutrality and legal certainty, especially at sensitive times.

  • Executor: safeguarding assets, administering the will, and arranging the deceased’s wishes (including funeral arrangements).

  • Estate partitioner: preparing the inventory and valuation of assets, winding up the matrimonial property regime, and distributing the estate without deadlock due to a lack of agreement among the heirs.
