Inheritance and family litigation

SOLARIS AVOCATS handles complex succession disputes involving heirs, co-inheritors, legatees, or interested third parties.

We assist our clients from the earliest signs of tension—deadlocks in estate division, contested wills, disinheritance claims, concealment of assets—and favor, whenever possible, structured amicable solutions that respect family and wealth interests.

When negotiations fail, we provide rigorous representation before civil courts, with a strategy tailored to the financial, personal, and succession stakes of each case, including in estates with significant international or wealth dimensions.

The transfer of a business or family estate requires rigorous planning to avoid conflicts and optimize estate taxation. Mechanisms such as the Dutreil pact or lifetime gifts enable secure asset transfers. Strategic guidance ensures business continuity and protects heirs.

Wealth issues are often intertwined with family relationships, requiring proactive risk management in the event of divorce, separation, or disputes among heirs. Proper legal structuring of assets through appropriate matrimonial regimes or specific agreements helps prevent litigation. Implementing protective mechanisms ensures smooth management of family interests.
