Attorney · BRANDAUER Rechtsanwälte, Salzburg
Inheritance matters are handled by Mag. Bernhard Brandauer together with a coordinated team. We examine the will, compulsory portion, gifts and deadlines and tell you clearly where you stand.
In Austria children as well as spouses and registered partners are entitled to a compulsory portion. The compulsory portion generally remains even where a valid will exists. How high it turns out depends on values, gifts and documents.
This self-assessment guides you through the four axes basis of claim, estate values, gifts and documents. It orders which points are open and which documents you should gather.
The result is orientation and not a calculation. It names no euro amounts and no quota. For a deeper view our team is available.
Which documents and values count for your compulsory portion?
First tell us in which role you are asking. Then answer a few questions on entitlement, estate values, gifts and documents. You receive a profile across these axes, your most important points and concrete next steps.
Note: This self-assessment is general orientation on the Austrian legal position (legal status June 2026) and does not replace advice in an individual case. It is not a binding calculation and names no euro amounts. For a binding assessment we recommend an initial consultation.
