CMS Monaco's offering in Private wealth and succession law

Thanks to its extensive experience, our team of specialists in national and international family estate and succession law can analyse your personal situation in order to optimise your succession planning or re-evaluate your choices for transmitting your estate.

We advise our clients on the following matters:

  • Succession planning and wills
  • Reviewing wealth transfer strategies
  • Amicable settlement of estates
  • Succession disputes
  • Will challenges
  • Estate inventory and distribution
  • Protection of estate assets pending administration
  • International wealth structuring
  • Family governance

We work in partnership with notaries, tax specialists and other qualified professionals to offer forward-looking solutions for your chosen form of succession planning and to optimise tax aspects.

It is also evident that Monaco's cosmopolitan clientele requires technical skills in private international law. Drafting a will of a person whose estate is made up of multiple assets located in several countries regularly involves questioning the possible application of foreign law and verifying its regulations. We work in close collaboration with our network of associated firms in over 40 countries to meet our clients' needs for a cross-border assistance.
