Liane Adler - Attorney at Law (Rechtsanwältin)
I assist heirs and international clients worldwide in matters relating to German estates, probate proceedings in Germany, and cross-border inheritance cases.
Many of my clients live outside Germany and are unable to travel to Germany for every legal or administrative step. Together with trusted partners and service providers, I coordinate the necessary procedures efficiently and represent clients before German courts, banks, and authorities.
Typical matters include:
- German probate and certificates of inheritance
- Communication with German banks, courts, and authorities
- Sale or transfer of German real estate
- Distribution of inheritance shares
- Full legal representation from abroad
I advise expatriates, international families, foreign nationals, and cross-border couples on German inheritance law, wills, and international estate planning involving Germany.
The focus is on creating legally secure succession structures for individuals with assets, family members, or property in multiple countries.
Typical matters include:
- Wills for expatriates and international families in Germany
- German inheritance planning for foreign nationals
- Estate planning involving multiple nationalities
- Property in Germany and assets abroad
- Choice of law under the EU Succession Regulation
Cross-border inheritance disputes often involve complex legal and practical challenges. I represent international clients in German inheritance disputes and contentious probate matters involving assets, heirs, or proceedings in Germany.
Typical matters include:

- Disputes between heirs residing in different countries
- Estate settlement and inheritance negotiations
- Court proceedings before German courts
