Inheritance Crime Consulting

Specialist firm for heirs, lawyers etc: a robust approach to an ancient racket

Books on inheritance law and practice

Global multimedia startup on all things inherited (assets, genes, family, culture, planet)

Hello. I'm Richard J. Szrabe. 

This is my personal site on juridical inheritance.

Retired London barrister (Middle Temple 1982-2009; practice areas included inheritance; changed my surname from Astor to Szrabe in 2011) and

  • published legal author

  • publisher-author of works in progress including on inheritance

  • inheritance multimedia startup maven

  • inheritance crime consultant 

  • concert-standard-pianist etc. 

A few of the themes I'll be ruminating about (and check out the radio show):-

Testators, families

(1) Estate planning (2) living trusts (3) disinheriting (4) statutory inheriting

Wills, codicils

(1) Forgery (2) undue influence (3) lost and found (4) oops forgot! (5) afterthoughts (6) registering (7) homemade

Dying, death

Putative heirs and others hastening a testator's death: (1) in a care situation (2) in a nursing home (3) in a critical-care hospital situation (4) legal and illegal assisted dying (5) induced suicide (6) homicide. Dying wishes, second thoughts, deathbed smarts

Estate managers

The icon says enough, right down to the blue shirt and the white collar. I can't think of a good word to say about any of them.

Estate management

It's all about whole-truth and false accounts. It's only about accounts. Accounts are the key thing. That and accounting. And accounts. (Oddly enough, it's not about accountants.)

Heirs

(1) Family (2) philanthropees (3) the testator's lawyer (4) bad people (5) minority heir victims

Distribution

(1) Devolution vs dispersal: the fantasy of a population-wide diffusion of wealth (2) interim and final distributions of net residue (3) discretionary trusts

Application

(1) Failure stories: how you blew it (2) success stories: how you grew it (3) the family business (4) other hand-me-downs (5) honest and dishonest failure to comply with conditions, stipulations 

Controversies

(1) Civil vs criminal (2) greed (3) stupidity (4) misconception (5) Jarndyce syndrome: the chance'ry division of your inheritance from all four sides (substantive judge, costs judge, opponents, your own lawyers) (6) publicity and privacy (7) claims against the estate from testator victims (Madoff, Epstein etc.)
