Frequently asked questions:
If you die without a will, the distribution of your assets is determined by Swiss inheritance law.
The law establishes a specific order of succession that prioritizes close family members.
In general, the surviving spouse inherits a substantial part of the estate, followed by children, parents, siblings and more distant relatives.
Drawing up a clear and legally valid will is the most effective way to prevent inheritance disputes.
A well-structured will explicitly sets out your wishes for the distribution of your assets, including your property.
This can help minimize confusion and potential conflicts between beneficiaries.
Also, discuss your inheritance plans with your family members to ensure they understand your intentions and have the opportunity to voice any concerns.
Open communication and transparency can go a long way to avoiding future disputes.
