Protect assets.
Establish clarity.
The probate court’s appointment order determines the scope of our responsibilities. It guides the measures we take and our cooperation with the organisations involved.
Secure the estate
We identify assets and immediate action needed. Within the scope set by the court, we arrange the measures required to preserve the estate.
Administer assets
We record accounts, property, receivables and ongoing obligations systematically. We organise their administration and keep clear records of decisions and payments.
Trace heirs
Where tracing heirs falls within our appointment, we investigate family relationships and assess the necessary documents. Each investigative step is documented.
Maintain reliable records
We prepare the inventories and reports required by the probate court. Organised records form the basis for accounting and the subsequent handover.
For the estate.
In the heirs’ interests.
Our work follows the appointment order and the needs of the individual estate. The interests of unknown heirs, protection of assets and clear communication with the probate court guide our work.
Our role as estate custodians begins with the court appointment and follows the defined scope of responsibilities.
