Succession matters from before a dispute arises through to court — petitions to appoint an administrator, division of the estate, and disputes between heirs.
What we take on
- Petitions to appoint an estate administrator, and objections to an appointment
- Collecting, managing, and dividing an estate, including land, shares, and businesses
- Bringing or defending suits for division of an estate and disputes between heirs
- Drafting, reviewing, and contesting wills
Succession and tax
Receiving and transferring an estate carries taxes and fees — inheritance tax once the value passes the statutory threshold, and land transfer fees among them. We assess these together with the division of the estate; tax planning is handled by Advisory Truly Business Co., Ltd.
