Swedish legal services
When an estate crosses the Atlantic, the first challenge is often identifying which country’s process controls each asset and which documents banks, authorities, and heirs will accept. Simon Dicksved is a Swedish inheritance lawyer who assists private clients with the Swedish side of inheritance matters involving the United States.
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.

A useful starting point
Start by mapping the family relationships, residence, existing will, and the Swedish assets involved. Simon can then identify which Swedish succession questions need a closer review.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
Separate the U.S. document from the Swedish asset and administration questions. A foreign will can be relevant without replacing every Swedish estate document or bank requirement.

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.
