In many cases, conflicts arise with the heirs, especially if information is withheld or values are deliberately underestimated. The following points of contention occur particularly frequently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Incomplete or refused information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those entitled to a compulsory share of the inheritance have the right to receive a complete inventory of the estate. However, heirs often provide only incomplete information or refuse to disclose certain details. In such cases, the information can be obtained through legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dispute over the valuation of the estate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A frequent point of contention is the question of how to value certain assets \u2013 especially real estate, company shares, or collections. Often, values are set too low in order to reduce the compulsory share of the inheritance. An expert appraisal can provide clarity in such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Problems with lifetime gifts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the deceased made larger gifts to other persons during his lifetime, the question often arises whether these must be taken into account when calculating the compulsory share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delay or refusal of payment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when the right to a compulsory share of the inheritance is undisputed, some heirs deliberately delay payment.

Those entitled to a compulsory share then face the question of whether and how these gifts can be taken into account when calculating their compulsory share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, the so-called <strong class=\"cr-text-highlight\">supplementary compulsory portion claim<\/strong> pursuant to Section 2325 of the German Civil Code (BGB) comes into play. This claim makes it possible to include certain gifts made by the testator in the ten years prior to their death in the calculation of the compulsory portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer ago the gift was made, the lower the supplementary claim \u2013 the decisive factor here is the so-called &#8220;tapering rule&#8221;. If the gift was made in the year before the inheritance, it is fully taken into account; for each additional year, the amount taken into account decreases by 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assessment of whether and to what extent a claim for a compulsory portion supplement exists should always be legally reviewed \u2013 especially if the gift was made to other family members.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!--blockstudio\/cocron\/cr-group--><div class=\"cr-group\">\n<!--blockstudio\/cocron\/cr-cta--><div class=\"cr-cta\">\n    <div class=\"cr-cta__heading\">\n        Secure your individual initial consultation.\n    <\/div>\n\n            <a class=\"brxe-button cr-btn bricks-button\" href=\"#sRhat7yBMHmv6EnYymEW\">\n            Claim your compulsory share now\n            <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"13\" height=\"15\" viewBox=\"0 0 13 15\" fill=\"none\">\n                <path d=\"M-0.000117302 7.03994V8.15994C-0.000117302 8.46911 0.0946741 8.73307 0.284258 8.95182C0.473842 9.17057 0.7203 9.27994 1.02363 9.27994H7.18363L4.61988 11.8524C4.39822 12.0624 4.28738 12.3249 4.28738 12.6399C4.28738 12.9549 4.39822 13.2174 4.61988 13.4274L5.27613 14.0924C5.49197 14.3083 5.75447 14.4162 6.06363 14.4162C6.36697 14.4162 6.63238 14.3083 6.85988 14.0924L12.5561 8.38744C12.772 8.17161 12.8799 7.90911 12.8799 7.59994C12.8799 7.29661 12.772 7.03119 12.5561 6.80369L6.85988 1.11619C6.63822 0.894525 6.3728 0.783691 6.06363 0.783691C5.7603 0.783691 5.4978 0.894525 5.27613 1.11619L4.61988 1.76369C4.39822 1.98536 4.28738 2.25077 4.28738 2.55994C4.28738 2.86911 4.39822 3.13452 4.61988 3.35619L7.18363 5.91994H1.02363C0.7203 5.91994 0.473842 6.02932 0.284258 6.24807C0.0946741 6.46682 -0.000117302 6.73077 -0.000117302 7.03994Z\" fill=\"white\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n         !function(j,u,p,U,s){j.JUPUS=p;j[p]||(j[p]=function(){\n         (j[p].q=j[p].q||[]).push(arguments)});\n         U=u.createElement('script');s=u.scripts[0];\n         U.src='https:\/\/app.jupus.de\/channels\/ingress\/chatbot\/embed\/6a7d642b-3e0b-4016-a867-70324f78d078.js';\n         s.parentNode.insertBefore(U,s)}(window,document,'jp');\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3351,"parent":3362,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3358","verbraucherthemen","type-verbraucherthemen","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verbraucherthemen\/3358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verbraucherthemen"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verbraucherthemen"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verbraucherthemen\/3362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ra-cocron.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
