Family law in Gothenburg
We write cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, wills, lasting powers of attorney and deeds of gift to suit your situation. You can meet us at the office in Gothenburg or online, and you get a quote before we start.
How we can help
Cohabitation agreements, prenups, wills, division of property and estate inventories.
- Cohabitation agreement
Decide what happens to your home and household goods if you move apart. - Prenuptial agreement
Make certain property separate property, for couples who are married or about to marry. - Will
Decide who inherits from you, with a will that meets the formal requirements. - Lasting power of attorney
Choose who looks after your affairs if you can no longer do it yourself. - Deed of gift
Give away money, a tenant-owned flat or a property on the terms you want. - Division of property
Division of property (bodelning) when you separate: we calculate the split and write the agreement. - Estate inventory
Estate inventory after a death and distribution of the estate, from the inventory meeting to the deed of distribution.
The form decides whether the document is valid
Each document has its own requirements. A will is signed on paper in front of two witnesses who are present at the same time. A lasting power of attorney also needs two witnesses, but since 1 July 2026 it can be signed electronically. A prenuptial agreement only takes effect once it has been submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).
A cohabitation agreement must be in writing and signed by you both. If you give away a property, the gift must be set out in a document that you both sign, and the recipient then applies for registration of title (lagfart). We go through the formal requirements with you, so that the document holds up on the day it is needed.
How it works
You send an enquiry and tell us briefly what it is about. We normally get back to you within one working day with a quote that shows what is included and what it costs. You only pay once you have accepted the quote and we have taken on the assignment.
Then we write the document and explain the terms in plain language. You receive it with instructions on how to sign it. Read more about how it works.
Estate inventory and division of property
After a death we help with the estate inventory and distribution of the estate, and when you separate with the division of property. If your matter is about something else in family law, for example custody, describe it in the form and we will tell you straight away whether we can help you.
