AustriaIn Austria, approximately 48% of people own property, with 36% owning their own homes and 12% owning apartments. However, many property owners neglect planning for inheritance, which can lead to legal complications after death. According to estimates, around €21 billion in wealth is currently being inherited in Austria, expected to rise to €40 billion by 2050 due to the passing of large birth cohorts. This increases the likelihood of properties being passed down, but challenges arise, especially with apartment ownership, where only two people can be co-owners at once. Without proper planning, such as a will, legal disputes or forced sales through court proceedings could occur. Legal experts emphasize the importance of cooperative solutions to maintain family harmony and avoid costly legal battles.
