COMPETENT LEGAL ADVICE ON ASSETS, SUCCESSION AND NONPROFIT STATUS
The attorneys-at-law in BRP RENAUD’s Wealth, Succession, and Foundations Practice Group specialize in structuring reliable succession arrangements, the secure transfer of assets by way of a gift or inheritance, and issues relating to charity and foundation law. Our clients are wealthy private individuals, entrepreneurs, and independent professionals. We are also retained by nonprofit organizations, such as foundations and their beneficiaries.

BRP RENAUD’s aim is to provide both specialized and comprehensive legal consulting. Our firm provides assistance not only with asset protection or the transfer of assets but also with related issues from other areas of law, such as family and inheritance law, tax and corporate law, real estate law as well as medical law and guardianship law. Our firm offers comprehensive yet specialized legal expertise, including on tax law aspects, from a single source. 
BRP RENAUD ASSISTS IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS, E.G.:
  • You are planning to hand over your enterprise to a successor. We advise you on the possible options and take care of the implementation of your goals under corporate law, tax law and inheritance law.
  • You intend to structure your asset succession in a reliable manner. We will inform you of the options that are available for transferring your assets during your lifetime, e.g., by making a gift or setting up a foundation, and explain the options for structuring your last will and testament by means of an inheritance contract, will, or legacy. The starting point is always your family’s situation and your personal wishes.

  • You are confronted with compulsory portion and inheritance claims or have to assert such claims yourself. BRP RENAUD advises on possible legal remedies or enforcement measures, drafts an inheritance law strategy together with you, and represents you both out of court and in court.

  • You intend to protect your private and business assets in the event of a divorce. Our practice group specializes in making provisions for a possible divorce by drawing up marriage contracts. In the event of divorce proceedings, we help you defend yourself against unjustified claims for alimony, child support and compensation for the increase in value.
  • In the event of serious illness or the need for long-term care, your wishes should be respected. Our attorneys-at-law have extensive experience in drawing up individually tailored, legally effective healthcare powers of attorney, living wills and care directives.

  • Your foundation or charitable association is to receive a significant donation, gift or inheritance. Our practice group will ensure an optimal transfer from a tax perspective without any risks under nonprofit law.
