The partially revised Swiss inheritance law has been in force since January 2023. The new provisions will enable you to decide in a more flexible and self-determined manner who is to receive how much of your estate.

New features include a reduction in the compulsory portions for descendants and discontinuation of the compulsory portion for parents. Swiss Life gives you an up-to-date overview and explains what to keep in mind in your inheritance and succession planning.
