Care to know more?

Family and inheritance law are sensitive subjects that often involve strong emotions. Matters that once seemed routine can take on a new significance as a result of all kinds of events, causing a breakdown in communications and thrusting the parties involved into far-reaching and invasive legal proceedings. SmeetsGijbels advises its clients on what route to take. We do so with empathy and support, adding our specialist legal knowledge as necessary.

Family law

Family law

Family law is a wide-ranging term that is mostly concerned with the legal aspects of divorce, the division of assets, child-related matters, alimony, parentage, marriage, and other areas associated with family relationships. Decisions on family-law matters often have far-reaching consequences. Clear legal advice can, in many cases, help you make informed choices. Our lawyers and mediators can advise you on what decisions to take.

Inheritance law

Inheritance law regulates what happens to the possessions and debts left when a person dies. Everyone will have to deal with inheritance law at some point in their lives. The death of a family member or friend is a profound event. Many decisions on how to deal with legacies have major financial consequences. In many cases, the bereaved are able to agree on how a legacy is to be dealt with. There are some cases where a simple piece of legal advice is sufficient, but it is often a better idea to engage the services of a mediator or lawyer.
