Schweizerisches Erbrecht

The book provides a comprehensive overview of Swiss inheritance law, including all adjustments from the inheritance law revision that came into effect in 2023. It offers a clear and understandable introduction to the fundamentals and legal sources of inheritance law, as well as detailed information on statutory and testamentary inheritance. The focus is also on the inheritance process and the various provisions regarding the division of inheritance. Additionally, it covers inheritance tax law and private international law in relation to inheritance law.

Numerous illustrative examples and graphical overviews facilitate access to these topics, which are often perceived as complex. Thus, the book is an indispensable companion as a teaching resource for students and also serves as a current reference work for practitioners. The new edition takes into account not only the inheritance law revision and the revision of international inheritance law but also developments in case law and legal education.
