This can lead to results that are not in your best interests &#8211; especially in patchwork families. For example, if a spouse dies without a will, their biological children and the surviving partner inherit the property together. This creates a <strong>community of heirs<\/strong> in which stepchildren would also have to have a say.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid disputes, owners should draw up a <strong>will<\/strong> or an <strong>inheritance contract<\/strong>. This can specify exactly who receives the property and how other assets are distributed. However, bear in mind the <strong>compulsory portion<\/strong>: close relatives (children, spouse, parents if applicable) have a statutory minimum claim in money even in the event of disinheritance. If in doubt, seek advice from a notary or specialist lawyer to ensure that all formalities are legally effective.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.gspb_container-id-gsbp-593ab75{flex-direction:column;box-sizing:border-box;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-593ab75.gspb_container > p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-593ab75.gspb_container{position:relative;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-593ab75.gspb_container{display:flex;flex-direction:column;row-gap:20px;}<\/style>\n<div id=\"thema2\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-593ab75\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-593ab75\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"immobilie-vererben-oder-verschenken\" style=\"font-size:clamp(23.043px, 1.44rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.466), 38px);line-height:1.4\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color-color\">Inherit or give away<\/mark> real estate <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color-color\">?<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can transfer your property to children or other relatives as a <strong>gift<\/strong> during your lifetime. This can be useful to avoid high inheritance tax and create a clear situation. Gifts to children are tax-free up to <strong>\u20ac400,000<\/strong> (tax-free amount per child every 10 years). Higher values are subject to gift tax &#8211; but often less than inheritance tax at a later date, especially as you can use allowances several times.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: If you want the property to remain in the family, you can make a gift. You can reserve a <strong>right of residence or usufruct<\/strong> so that you can continue to live in the house or receive rental income. However, bear in mind that you are no longer the owner after a gift. It is difficult to reverse the transaction. You should therefore plan carefully and involve all those affected.    <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d{flex-direction:column;box-sizing:border-box;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d.gspb_container > p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d.gspb_container{position:relative;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d.gspb_container{display:flex;flex-direction:column;justify-content:flex-start;row-gap:20px;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d.gspb_container{margin-top:20px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:40px;padding-right:40px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:40px;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d.gspb_container{background-color:var(--gs-colorcolor8,#cce4ee);}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-786194d\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-786194d\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Since 2023, new valuation rules have applied to real estate in the case of gifts and inheritance.

If the value of the property exceeds the tax-free amount, tax is due. This is based on the <strong>market value of the property<\/strong> at the time of death less debts. If the property is rented out, 90% of the value is usually applied.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: If you cannot pay the tax in cash, you may have to sell the property to settle the claim. In some cases, the tax office will grant a <strong>deferral<\/strong>, often with interest.

Each heir has a tax-free allowance (e.g. children \u20ac400,000, spouse \u20ac500,000). The excess value is taxed at a percentage rate depending on the tax bracket. Important: Homes that the spouse or children have lived in for at least 10 years can remain tax-free.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>#gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae.gspb_row__col--4{width:33.333333333333336%;}@media (max-width:575.98px){#gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae.gspb_row__col--4{width:100%;}}@media (max-width:575.98px){#gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae.gspb_row__col--4{order:-1;}}body #gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae.gspb_row__col--4{display:flex;flex-direction:column;row-gap:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-row-column gspb_row__col--4 gspb_row__col--xs-12 gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae\" id=\"gspb_col-id-gsbp-73642ae\"><style>.gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7{flex-direction:column;box-sizing:border-box;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7.gspb_container > p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7.gspb_container{position:relative;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7.gspb_container{display:flex;flex-direction:column;row-gap:20px;}body.gspb-bodyfront #gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7.gspb_container{position:sticky;z-index:11;top:180px;align-self:start;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-e309fc7\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-e309fc7\"><style>.gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b{flex-direction:column;box-sizing:border-box;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b.gspb_container > p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b.gspb_container{position:relative;}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b.gspb_container{padding-top:40px;padding-right:40px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:40px;}@media (max-width:575.98px){#gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b.gspb_container{padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;}}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b.gspb_container{background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--light-gray,#f0f1f1);}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-13c916b\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-13c916b\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(16.834px, 1.052rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.899), 26px);\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color-color\">Table of contents<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-main-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.196), 16px);\"><strong>Click on a section to jump directly to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\" class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"#testament-und-erbfolge-klar-regeln\">Clearly regulating wills and succession<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#immobilie-vererben-oder-verschenken\">Inherit or give away real estate?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#erbschaftsteuer-bei-immobilien\">Inheritance tax on real estate<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#mehrere-erben-erbengemeinschaft-aufloesen\">Multiple heirs: Dissolve community of heirs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#faq--haeufige-fragen-zum-vererben-von-immobilien\">FAQ &#8211; Frequently asked questions about inheriting real estate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owners are often faced with the question of how best to pass on their property to the next generation &#8211; by bequeathing it after death or making a gift during their lifetime.
