Swedish legal services
Cross-border inheritance planning can reduce confusion before a death occurs. Simon assists with the Swedish-law side of wills, authority documents, and practical preparation when a family, heir, or asset connects Sweden with the United States or another country.
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 connection that best describes your family. The result is a planning orientation, not a conclusion about which law applies.
A useful starting point
Review what the U.S. document covers, which Swedish assets or family rights may be involved, and whether a coordinated Swedish document is useful. Avoid creating overlapping documents without reviewing both.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
List each Swedish asset, its ownership, and the intended heirs. Simon can help identify the Swedish will, authority, and practical planning questions that should be coordinated with your U.S. adviser.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
Map where the intended heirs live, which Swedish documents already exist, and who should be able to communicate with Swedish institutions if the plan later needs to be carried out.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
A useful starting point
Define the intended task and institution before choosing a document. Legal authority should be separated from practical information the family simply needs to find.
General orientation only. The actual route depends on the documents, people, institutions, assets, and jurisdictions involved.
Two-country planning map
A cross-border plan becomes easier to discuss when each person, asset, document, and adviser is placed on the correct side before the connections are reviewed.

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.

Possibly, but not automatically. The existing document, residence, family relationships, Swedish assets, and intended plan should be reviewed before another will is prepared.
A document may have cross-border relevance, but validity, interpretation, administration, protected rights, and institutional requirements are separate questions. Coordinated review is safer than assuming one document resolves everything.
Yes, coordination may be possible. Simon’s role concerns Swedish law; the U.S. adviser remains responsible for U.S. wills, trusts, tax, and state-law planning.
Many first steps can be handled by video, phone, and document review. Signing, witnessing, originals, certification, or recipient requirements must be checked for the actual document.
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.
