Swedish legal services
Simon’s priority service is Swedish inheritance work where the family needs one lawyer to handle the complete Swedish estate. The work may run from the estate inventory and authority documents through banks, property, communication, transfers, and the final estate distribution.
The first conversation is free for up to 30 minutes and available by phone, video, or in person. No documents are required before the call. Consultations are subject to an initial matter and conflict review. Contacting the firm does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
Find your starting point
Choose the stage that feels closest. Estate administration is easier to understand when the current document and authority are identified first.
A useful starting point
Begin with the people, residence, will, assets, debts, and available certificates. Simon can help clarify the Swedish starting documents and who needs to participate.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
Keep the bank’s exact wording. The first task is usually to identify who may act, which document proves that authority, and what format the bank will accept.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
Map whether the estate inventory is registered, which assets remain, who must sign, and whether the estate parties agree before moving toward arvskifte.

Typical Swedish issues
General process
Talk through the Swedish connection. No documents are required; knowing whether the estate includes bank assets, property or a cooperative apartment, or both is enough to begin.
Simon reviews fit, conflicts, and the expected Swedish work, then sends an engagement agreement for signature and a price or fee structure for review.
After engagement, Simon requests the relevant information and carries out the agreed Swedish work with banks, authorities, estate parties, and advisers.
No documents are required. Be ready to explain in general terms how Sweden is involved and whether the estate includes Swedish bank assets, property or a cooperative apartment, or both. Simon will identify which documents are needed after the matter has been reviewed.
Do not send account numbers, identity documents, or confidential records through a general website form.
Pricing is provided after Simon has reviewed the matter and understood the scope. The assets, institutions, documents, heirs, coordination, and amount of work can affect both price and timing.
A Swedish estate-inventory meeting should normally take place within three months after death, and the estate inventory should normally be filed with the Swedish Tax Agency within one month after the meeting. Exceptions and extensions may apply; do not calculate an individual deadline from this page.

No. A Swedish estate inventory has its own function, participants, formalities, and registration process. It should not be treated as the Swedish name for a U.S. court probate.
Simon may help identify the authority and document questions behind the request. The exact route depends on the bank wording, estate documents, signatures, account, and people involved.
Distribution should be considered only after authority, debts, documents, estate parties, and relevant assets are sufficiently clear. The correct timing depends on the actual estate.
Yes. Begin with a free 30-minute conversation. No documents are required before the call; it is enough to explain the Swedish connection and whether bank assets, property or a cooperative apartment, or both are involved. Simon will identify any documents needed after the matter is reviewed.
