If this is unsuccessful or there is a dispute about the amount of the claim, the legal route follows. The action must be brought before the competent civil court.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the proceedings, the estate is determined, supplemented or reviewed if necessary. The eligibility and the compulsory portion quota are determined. The court decides on the basis of the evidence presented on the amount of the claim and orders the heirs to pay, provided the claim is justified.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pflichtteil-einklagen-und-auszahlung\">Suing for and Receiving Payment of the Compulsory Portion<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the compulsory portion is not paid voluntarily, it can be claimed in court. The action aims at payment of a certain amount of money. If the claim is undisputed in principle, an action can also be brought only on the amount of payment.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a positive judgment, the heirs have to pay the awarded amount. If no payment is made, the compulsory portion claimant can initiate the execution &#8211; for example, by garnishing salary or accessing the account. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bemessungsgrundlage-und-art-des-anspruchs\">Assessment Basis and Type of Claim<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/forced-heirship-law\/\">compulsory portion<\/a> is a pure monetary claim and is measured at half of the <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/statutory-succession\/\">statutory inheritance<\/a>. The basis of calculation is the so-called net estate. The net estate is the assets of the deceased minus the debts.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estate includes in particular:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Real estate and other assets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Account balances and securities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company participations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deductible debts and outstanding liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auswirkungen-von-schenkungen-und-vermachtnissen\">Effects of Gifts and Legacies<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gifts that the deceased made during his lifetime can significantly influence the compulsory portion claim. If, for example, real estate, larger amounts of money or company shares are given away, this increases the fictitious estate, which is to be used for the calculation of the compulsory portion. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In such cases, an additional claim for compulsory portion supplementation may exist. This applies in particular if the donee himself was appointed as heir. Legacies, on the other hand, are not statutory inheritances, but concrete allocations of certain assets. They reduce the actually available estate and can therefore indirectly reduce the compulsory portion.   <\/p>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wie-setze-ich-meinen-anspruch-auf-den-pflichtteil-durch\">How Do I Enforce My Claim to the Compulsory Portion?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you, as a person entitled to a compulsory portion, want to secure your claim, you should first try an extrajudicial enforcement. In a first step, the heir or heirs are requested in writing to calculate and pay out the compulsory portion. If an agreement cannot be reached, the claim can be enforced by action before the civil court.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court then examines whether the claim exists, how high the compulsory portion is and whether any gifts or legacies are to be taken into account. If the court grants the request for action, the heirs pay the compulsory portion on the basis of the judgment. If they still do not make a payment, the compulsory portion claimant initiates the execution.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a legally secure and complete enforcement, legal support is recommended, especially in the case of complex estate circumstances or concealed assets.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eWer seinen Pflichtteil sichern will, muss fr\u00fchzeitig handeln und sich nicht auf m\u00fcndliche Zusagen verlassen.

From this point on, there is basically a claim for payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compulsory portion claimants may demand the payment of the monetary compulsory portion only one year after the death, as expressly provided by law. This period is intended to enable the heirs or other persons liable for payment to arrange the estate and provide the necessary funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this year has expired, the compulsory portion can be claimed and, if necessary, enforced in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the payment can be postponed beyond this period or made in installments in certain cases. This can be done either by a testamentary disposition of the deceased or on application of the person liable for payment to the court. A prerequisite for this is always that the deferral is reasonable. The court examines in particular the economic circumstances of the parties involved and the fairness of the regulation.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-verjahrung-des-pflichtteilsanspruchs\">Statute of Limitations for the Compulsory Portion Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim to the compulsory portion is generally subject to a statute of limitations of three years. The period begins as soon as the compulsory portion claimant learns of the death, a possible disinheritance and the extent of the estate, or could have learned of it with due diligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, there is an absolute limitation period of 30 years, which begins to run with the death of the deceased person. After this period has expired, the compulsory portion claimant can no longer assert his claim. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kosten\">Costs<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costs for the enforcement of a compulsory portion claim are made up of several components. These include in particular court fees, attorney&#8217;s fees and, under certain circumstances, expenses for experts, for example in the valuation of real estate or company shares. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of these costs depends on the so-called value in dispute. This refers to the amount of money that the compulsory portion claimant is suing for. The higher the claim, the higher the procedural costs.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ihre-vorteile-mit-anwaltlicher-unterstutzung\">Your Benefits with Legal Assistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Examination of whether an action is necessary or useful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoidance of missed deadlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enforcement of the compulsory portion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disclosure of concealed assets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negotiating power through well-founded legal argumentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haufig-gestellte-fragen-faq\">Frequently Asked Questions &#8211; FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-972c8b74 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-6b30bb7b \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">Who can file a compulsory portion action?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>Those entitled to a compulsory portion are generally the children and the spouse or registered partner of the deceased.
