Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Notaries<\/em>. A will can and should not only specify who inherits what. Many single parents with minor children, for example, want to prevent the other parent from later gaining access to the inheritance. This is precisely the risk that exists.<\/p>\n

Custody also includes the management of assets<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a single parent dies and the other parent is granted custody, they can administer the inheritance of the joint children. This is because part of custody includes the management of assets. If the parents previously had joint custody, this automatically passes to the surviving parent. If, on the other hand, the single parent had sole custody, it is transferred to the other parent after their death, provided this is not contrary to the child's welfare. Anyone who wants to prevent their ex-partner from accessing the inheritance must draw up a will. If necessary, the will can include the reasons why a transfer of custody would be contrary to the child's welfare.<\/p>\n

Single parents can appoint a guardian<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parents who have sole custody can appoint a guardian for their minor children in their will. They can also specify who should not be appointed as guardian under any circumstances. Single parents should only choose someone they trust completely and inform them of their intentions and the location of the will. If no one is named in the will, the family court will appoint a guardian.<\/p>\n

Exclude former partners from asset management<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the event that the former partners have joint custody when the single parent dies, or the other parent is granted custody, he or she may be excluded from the administration of the estate in the will. The exclusion only applies to the assets that the children inherit from the single parent.<\/p>\n

Making provisions in case the children also die<\/strong><\/p>\n

Single parents should also consider the possibility that their children could die before them without leaving any descendants of their own. In that case, their assets would pass to the surviving parent along with the single parent's inheritance. This can only be prevented by means of a testamentary disposition of preliminary and reversionary inheritance. To this end, the single parent appoints the children as preliminary heirs and designates a reversionary heir who will receive their share of the inheritance in the event of death.<\/p>\n
