EPU in Carinthia: How to secure your existence in time!

Spittal, Österreich - one-person companies (EPU) often see themselves unprepared when unexpected emergencies occur. This is a central topic that was dealt with in an event series that focuses on practical legal provisions. More than 150 entrepreneurs already took part in these events in Spittal, Völkermarkt and Klagenfurt, which outline aspects such as will, inheritance law, power of attorney and living will.

Legal provision as an element of entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly important. Consumers should take this topic seriously in order to clearly regulate their wishes in the event of inability to act or after their death. The necessary preventive documents often depend on the individual life situation. One of the recent findings is the list of seven important precautions that everyone should know:

• Testament : essential for the estate regulation. It can be written by hand or notarized. Notarielle will avoid interpretation difficulties.
• inheritance contract : Notarized agreement between two parties, ideal for couples without a marriage certificate or entrepreneur.
• living will : binding medical measures set; must be signed by hand.
• Preational power of attorney : authorizes confidants to make decisions in health or asset issues.
• General power of attorney : encompasses comprehensive regulations for legal and economic areas of life, especially for entrepreneurs.
• care order : determined who is appointed as a legal supervisor if the authorized person fails.
• organ donation ID : Can be defined in the living will or the power of attorney.

Important details concern the creation of a will. In order to effectively build a will, you have to be able to test, which is the case from the age of 16, provided there are no mental restrictions. Testaments can be built on a handwritten way, which must be written and signed by hand, as well as in public form. In the case of formal missteps, the document could become invalid, which leads to the legal succession. Attorney Thorsten Klinkner emphasizes the negative consequences of lack of planning; 28 % of all civil law disputes concern the heir. Ideally, it is created in several phases, starting with the clarification of the goals up to the consideration of special situations such as company succession. Lateral provision plus explained .

It is crucial for entrepreneurs to plan their provision at an early stage and ensure that their documents are always up to date. This can avoid future legal disputes and maintain personal and business peace. The initiative for information about these topics by the Chamber of Commerce and the notary's chamber is therefore to be considered extremely useful in order to change the view of legal provisions in the world of entrepreneurship.
