FAQ
Am I entering into any financial risk by granting mandate?
No, you are not. Hoerner Bank AG can guarantee this, without any ifs or buts. The fee for Hoerner Bank AG is calculated as a percentage of the amount due to you after deduction of estate liabilities. So your inheritance share will always be in plus. Furthermore, Hoerner Bank AG works on a contingency basis, as do the partners with whom they cooperate to assert your inheritance claim. It therefore simply does not make sense to take on indebted estates. If, contrary to expectation, there are no assets to be paid out or you are not determined as an heir after all, you will not incur any costs – be it from Hoerner Bank AG or their partners. You also do not have to make any payments to Hoerner Bank AG in advance.
Is it possible to receive personal (non-valuable) items from the decedent’s estate?
If there are any personal items or paperwork belonging to the decedent that were not already disposed of by the estate administration then Hoerner Bank AG is happy to try and secure these via their local partner or attorney.
Do I have to take any action myself regarding settlement of the estate or contact co-heirs?
No. Once power of attorney has been granted, Hoerner Bank AG takes over the entire task of settling the estate for you.
