Family & Estate Law

FIUS's Family & Estate practice provides both advisory and contentious counsel, supporting clients in informed succession planning and pursuing efficient resolution of disputes.

On the extrajudicial side, we work closely with notarial offices to draft public deeds. Our commitment is to deliver personalized guidance and succession-planning strategies tailored to each client's circumstances.

In court, our proximity to the judiciary allows us to anticipate scenarios and offer strategic alternatives — whether in matters involving wealth, child custody and visitation, guardianship or curatorship.

Multidisciplinarity drives better outcomes in both planning and disputes: whenever necessary, the issues are addressed alongside best practices in corporate, tax and governance matters, fully aligned with each client's needs and goals.

Responsiveness, ethics, active listening, professionalism and transparency — combined with the multidisciplinary approach the area demands — are hallmarks of our Family & Estate team, which always works in the client's best interest.
