Succession advisory (Nachfolgeberatung)

Preparing the next generation. I guide business successions and asset transfers strategically and tax-wise, from analysis through execution.

Focus and approach: Succession advisory (Nachfolgeberatung)

Most successions do not fail because of tax; they fail because of family dynamics. As a mediator between the generations I make sure the result is tax-efficient and carried by everyone involved.

  • Business succession
  • Asset transfer
  • Generation planning
  • Erbschaftsteuer optimisation (German inheritance tax, ErbStG)
  • Family mediation

Inheritance law & Schenkungsteuer

Use Freibetraege (personal tax-free allowances under § 16 ErbStG), stagger gifts, shelter business assets. Forward planning can cut the tax bill by hundreds of thousands.

Focus and approach: Inheritance law & Schenkungsteuer

The ten-year window, Niessbrauch (usufruct, § 1030 BGB) reservations, Pflichtteil (statutory minimum share, § 2303 BGB) claims: tax law and inheritance law interact in non-obvious ways. I know both sides and find solutions that hold up legally and fiscally.

  • Schenkung (lifetime gift, ErbStG) planning
  • Optimise Freibetraege (§ 16 ErbStG)
  • Business assets (§§ 13a/13b ErbStG)
  • Pflichtteil claims
  • Will drafting

Asset protection (Vermoegensschutz)

Building wealth is one thing. Protecting it is another. I review your structures and identify weak points before they turn into problems.

Focus and approach: Asset protection (Vermoegensschutz)

Asset protection is more than a Holding (German tax-optimised holding structure, § 8b KStG). It covers liability shielding, access security and the right structure for your specific situation. As a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) I bring a perspective most tax advisers do not.

  • Structural review
  • Liability shielding
  • Asset protection
  • Fraud prevention (CFE)
  • Risk assessment

Holding & restructuring

Founding, designing and tax-optimising Familienstiftungen (German family foundations), Holding companies and corporate restructurings.

Focus and approach: Holding & restructuring

The right legal form is no end in itself. It has to fit your goals: tax optimisation, succession, liability protection or all together. I guide the full process, from concept to execution alongside the lawyers and notaries involved.

  • Familienstiftung (German family foundation)
  • Holding companies
  • Conversions and reorganisations
  • Tax-optimised structuring
  • International tax law

Second Opinion (Zweite Meinung)

You already have a Steuerberater (German tax adviser) and want an independent view? That is exactly what I am here for. I complement, I do not replace.

Focus and approach: Second Opinion (Zweite Meinung)

Many of my clients come for a specific question: Is my succession plan optimal? Have I missed a tax risk? Are there better structuring options? I give you an honest, independent assessment.

  • Independent assessment
  • Structural review
  • Tax risk evaluation
  • Structure optimisation
