Inheritance disputes – also disadvantageous from a tax perspective!

Every inheritance dispute involves considerable legal advice costs and represents an additional challenge for those involved in what is already a stressful situation. An inheritance dispute often not only leads to distribution disputes between the parties involved, but can also have an overall negative economic impact on the estate to be distributed. In addition to inheritance tax, it is also important to consider any income tax consequences, as these are often underestimated, at least in connection with inheritance cases. Careful tax planning is therefore essential, particularly in the case of business assets and company shareholdings in the estate, in order to avoid unexpected tax burdens.
