The Succession Law area handles the legal aspects of inheritance, probate proceedings, and asset distribution, involving Portuguese citizens residing abroad as well as foreign citizens who hold assets, rights, or interests connected to Portuguese territory. Our objective is to ensure legal certainty, compliance with applicable law, and proper estate organization throughout the succession process.

When you might need it:

In cases of the death of a family member with assets in Portugal;
When the heir or the deceased resides abroad;
To initiate or monitor probate and estate distribution proceedings in Portugal;
In situations involving international inheritances or multiple jurisdictions;
For guidance on inheritance rights, division of assets, and legal obligations.

How we operate:

We provide comprehensive legal counsel in inheritance proceedings, analyzing applicable legislation, the existence of wills, and the location of assets. We act strategically and with a human touch, conducting judicial or extrajudicial probate proceedings, ensuring that the rights of heirs are respected and that the process is conducted efficiently and securely.
