Mission Statement

High Attention

Personal attention, availability and continuity of entrusted personnel are key-principles to devote your case that degree of attentiveness required for successful representation.

High Speed

Time matters in order to handle a case most efficiently. This principle enjoys first priority.

High Quality

Focus on selected Areas of practice facilitates competence and diligence at the highest possible level. Economic restraints shall not be decisive in all circumstances. If justice is called for, it shall be done.

Areas of Practice

Trusts & estates, probates, succession law matters, international estates and estate planning, elderly law

My practice focuses on probate and administration procedures of decedents’ estates and inheritance law. I represent domestic and international clients to realize their claims (out of an heirship, forced heirship, legacy, bequeath or a creditor position) in estate cases, most of them litigated. I also assist in instigating ancillary probate procedures to grab on assets placed in Austria. I gained a lot of professional experience as a licensed substitute of a notary public and am therefore well linked to a number of notaries engaged as court commissioners in pertinent procedures.

Private foundations

The private foundation in Austrian has proved oneself to serve as a practical mean to ensure stable and sustainable management of family businesses and firm holdings. This vehicle can be designed to serve both private (e.g. family maintenance) and charitable objectives.

Debt collection

I cooperate with Progress West which is a leading Austrian debt collection agency (www.progresswest.at). Let my seasoned and well-rehearsed team take care of your receivables on economically reasonable terms.
