Weighing possibilities

First choose your goal. Then compare what a settlement changes, what control you retain and who bears the consequences.

Questions & answers

Does the comparison choose the best solution for me?

No. It helps recognize differences and formulate better questions. The suitability of a settlement depends on your family, assets, existing deeds and wishes.

Why do I also compare the consequences during my lifetime?

A settlement for later can already change ownership, availability or decision-making room today. Therefore discuss both what you want to transfer and what you need to keep yourself.

What should I bring to the advisory meeting?

Note which possibilities you are considering and why. Keep the relevant explanations and bring the documents related to your situation. Especially mention where you still have doubts.

What do you prepare for your consultation?
  • Your desired protection during your lifetime and after death.
  • Your need for income, housing security and available funds.
  • Existing agreements and the persons involved.

Bring what you already have. Note what is missing or about which you have doubts.
