Family and succession law

Family law is the area of Swiss law governing the legal relationships between individuals connected by family ties, such as kinship, marriage or adoption. It is a highly sensitive field of law, where legal, personal and emotional considerations are closely intertwined.

In Switzerland, and particularly in Geneva, family law regulates matters relating to marriage, registered partnerships, separation and divorce, as well as the rights and obligations arising between parents and children. This includes issues such as parental authority, custody, visitation rights, maintenance obligations, family names and certain aspects of nationality law.

When family situations involve an international dimension, for example where family members hold foreign nationalities or reside abroad, Swiss family law is complemented by international treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Such cases require careful legal analysis and experience in cross-border family matters.

Lexpro Avocats, a law firm based in Geneva, regularly advises and represents clients in family law proceedings, both in advisory matters and in litigation. Our services include in particular:

divorce and separation proceedings;
dissolution of registered partnerships;
protective measures for marital unions;
disputes concerning parental authority, custody, visitation rights and maintenance;
family law matters involving international elements.

In addition, Lexpro Avocats has extensive experience in Swiss inheritance law, which governs the transfer of assets from a deceased person to their legal or reserved heirs. Succession matters often involve complex legal and emotional issues, particularly in the absence of clear planning.

We assist clients in a wide range of inheritance matters, including:

estate planning and succession structuring;
settlement and division of estates;
actions for partition of an estate;
actions for reduction;
disputes between heirs or with third parties.

Whether you wish to initiate proceedings unilaterally or jointly, for example in the context of a divorce, we provide clear, structured and pragmatic legal support, taking into account your personal situation and financial constraints.

In family and inheritance matters, Lexpro Avocats consistently seeks to promote amicable solutions whenever possible. We encourage constructive dialogue between the parties, with particular attention to protecting the best interests of children and achieving sustainable outcomes.

One of the first law firm that works cleverly and pragmatically

Romain Dequesne - CEO @ e-Potek SA

We had the chance to work with Me SANGIN and his team on a number of strategic issues. We loved the fact that are very responsive, but most importantly they proactively discuss our requests before getting to work, to help us discuss, find short cuts and find the better solution. This makes a difference.
Very satisfied with the strategic approach

We initially entrusted an isolated mandate to Me SANGIN, very satisfied with the strategic and not only legal approach, we quickly decided to entrust an important part of the group's business. Mr. SANGIN takes care of accompanying the members of the management in the governance and brings a clear and pragmatic vision to the questions that entrepreneurs ask themselves in the day-to-day business.
