In contrast to a joint will, which can only be drawn up by spouses, an inheritance contract is open to anyone with full legal capacity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While dispositions in a joint will between living testators can be revoked, an inheritance contract creates a fixed contractual commitment to the dispositions made, which can only be relaxed under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a divorce, dispositions in a joint will generally become ineffective, unless a different will is recognizable. This regulation applies similarly to the inheritance contract, with the addition that dispositions in favor of third parties may also be affected.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inheritance contract can also be combined with other agreements, often in the case of marriage contracts or waivers of compulsory portions, which can be advantageous in certain situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":792,"parent":1062,"menu_order":57,"template":"","class_list":["post-1083","legal_areas","type-legal_areas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legal_area\/1083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legal_area"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/legal_areas"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legal_area\/1062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/notar-claas-oehler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
