Czech inheritance law
Inheritance disputes
spor o dědictví, neplatnost závěti
Czech succession proceedings are designed to be non-contentious, but disputes do arise — over the validity of a will, the capacity of the deceased, undue influence, the identification of heirs or the valuation of the estate. We advise and represent clients on all sides of contested inheritance matters.
