your questions
AGN helps you answer your legal questions
Do you have a question about inheritance? You may find the answer here.
What is the role of a solicitor in inheritance law for individuals?
Contrary to popular belief, the primary role of a solicitor practising inheritance law is not to litigate, but to advise their client on their rights and options.
Our solicitors are trained in all forms of mediation and conciliation. They always seek the most pragmatic solutions, with a view to achieving the desired objective as efficiently as possible.
When litigation is unavoidable, our solicitors can of course assist you in all types of proceedings.
What matters does an inheritance solicitor handle for private individuals?
En matière de droit des successions, AGN Avocats vous propose une assistance juridique à chaque étape : qu’il s’agisse de conseil pour anticiper la transmission de son patrimoine, lors de la phase de règlement de la succession, ou dans le cadre contentieux.

You can make an appointment with a solicitor specialising in inheritance law directly on our website, or by telephone on 09 72 34 24 72 (cost of a local call), Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm.
A solicitor will then meet with you at one of our offices or via videoconference as soon as possible (usually within 48 hours).
How much does a solicitor specialising in inheritance law cost for private individuals?
The fee for the first appointment is €75 including VAT for private individuals.

Transparency in our fees is an essential rule. Like all service providers, we inform you of our rates before any commitment is made, and all our rates are fixed.
