For example, you can grant an heir a larger share than legally provided. You can also use the freely disposable share for friends or for a good cause, for example by considering an aid organization like UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein as an heir or legatee. By donating a part of your estate to UNICEF, you support our work to help children in need all over the world. Of course, you can also designate a person or a non-profit organization as the sole heir, even if there are people with compulsory portion claims. The compulsory portions are only due if they are claimed by the omitted heirs entitled to a compulsory portion.

This inheritance claim of spouses and registered partners only exists if they survive the event of inheritance. If spouses and registered partners predecease the testator, their inheritance share does not pass to the in-laws, but falls to the family of the deceased person. The inheritance right of spouses and registered partners expires with a divorce or a dissolution of the registered partnership.

The older generation always inherits first. This means: as long as a child is alive, their children, i.e., your grandchildren, inherit nothing yet. Only in the case of predeceased children do the grandchildren inherit. For married couples, the estate is divided between the spouse and the heirs of the first parentela in certain shares.
