Estate Settlement

BCF’s team of notaries and tax experts leads executors, trustees, beneficiaries, and legatees through the various stages of an estate settlement to ensure a smooth transfer of assets.

Our team regularly represents clients in the settlement of complex estates involving entrepreneurs, foreign legatees, or assets as well as testamentary and inter vivos trusts. We ensure that the transfer of assets occurs according to our clients’ wishes while minimising taxes for the heirs and the estate settlement itself. We also represent clients in disputes among heirs, trust beneficiaries, executors, and trustees.
