Inheritance & Family Law

Our clients rely on us for assistance with estate planning, particularly regarding assets located in Portugal (including wills and lifetime asset transfers), as well as for managing negotiation, contracting, and registration processes for the distribution of assets in estates opened in Portugal or abroad. These matters are often handled through both negotiation and court proceedings, depending on complexity.

Legal advice in these matters is especially important for national clients with multiple heirs and significant assets, to prevent and resolve potential inheritance disputes. It is also essential for foreign clients who own property in Portugal and may be subject to multiple jurisdictions.

Many of our national and international clients also count on us to handle family disputes involving the division of real estate, especially in the context of divorce or mutual separation agreements. We take pride in seeking effective out-of-court settlements whenever possible, while defending our clients’ interests when litigation is necessary.
