Frequently Asked Questions
- What documents do I need for probate in Germany? You’ll at least need a death certificate, the will (if there is one), proof of relatedness or relationship to the deceased, and financial records related to the estate.
- How long does probate take? It depends on the size of the estate, the required legal steps, and whether there are inheritance disputes. Some cases are resolved in months, while others take longer.
- Can you work with my attorney in my home country? Yes. We regularly coordinate with legal teams in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. to ensure proper handling of estate matters.
