Inheritance law 4th additional requirements

Inheritance law is highly relevant in practice and is therefore an important area of law in training, with numerous interfaces to other areas of law. The LiteraB Erbrecht has a modular structure and deals with the basics, statutory succession and the right to a compulsory portion (1st chapter), voluntary succession (2nd chapter), contesting provisions by reason of death (3rd chapter), the consideration of lifetime gifts (4th chapter), inheritance (5th chapter) and special issues (references to matrimonial property law, pensions and insurance as well as corporate and rural inheritance law; 6th chapter). The modular preparation of the material enables students to access inheritance law via individual subjects and beyond to the interface areas. Each chapter is concluded with mnemonics, cases (and solutions) for learning control and in-depth questions. This allows students to self-check their knowledge. The volume can also be used to refresh knowledge in counseling that does not specialize in inheritance law.

Practical commentary on divorce law

FamKomm Divorce 4th edition

Now in its 4th edition, this divorce commentary traces the developments in legislation and practice since the last edition in 2017 in a detailed and practice-oriented manner. In particular, recent supreme court rulings on the new child maintenance law and childcare maintenance have been incorporated, but the latest developments in post-marital maintenance law have also been critically and thoroughly assessed.
Furthermore, users can refer to the comprehensively updated appendices on the provisions of the Swiss Code of Civil Procedure relevant to matrimonial protection and divorce law, on selected issues of social and immigration law, on the tax consequences of divorce, on maintenance calculations, on international private law problems and on divorce conventions. The appendices have also been supplemented by a section on enforcement, which competently answers the most common questions in this area and will be of additional benefit to all practitioners. The "FamKomm Scheidung", first published in 2000 and founded by Prof. Dr. Ingeborg Schwenzer, has become an established standard work in divorce law practice. The 4th edition of the commentary is edited by Prof. Dr. Roland Fankhauser, and all of the authors have outstanding academic and practical experience in family law. The commentary therefore guarantees practical relevance and high quality.
