As a married couple, it can be a way to secure the existence of your partner if there are children. from previous relationship If you have children, regardless of whether you are married, cohabiting or single, it is a way to ensure that the inheritance becomes the children's individual property. Otherwise, their future partner or spouse may be entitled to the inheritance in the event of a possible separation or divorce.

Good things to think about when it comes to a testament:

You can bequeath whatever you want to whoever you want.

Your children (or grandchildren if the child is no longer alive) always have the right to claim their inheritance.

If you are married and your spouse dies without leaving behind any children (children from a previous relationship), you inherit everything unless there is a testament that states otherwise. This also applies if you have children together, as they have to wait for their inheritance until you both pass away.

Children from a previous relationship have the right to receive their inheritance at once. They don't have to wait until the step or bonus parent passes away. A testament or a life insurance can help you or your spouse afford to stay in your home if one of you pass away. The testament can regulate so that the child from a previous relationship is only entitled to his legal lot. That means.half of the original inheritance.

When your partner passes away, the partner's children inherit primarily and the partner's parents and/or siblings secondarily. The only thing you are entitled to is half of the value of the home and household goods that you have bought for joint use. If you want to be able to inherit from each other, you must therefore write a testament. If you have children together or no children at all, you can also marry to inherit each other.
