Before saying "I do"

What you should clarify while planning your wedding.

Steuern nach der Heirat
Protecting each other

Without being legally married, partners have no statutory inheritance rights and are not eligible for any widow's or widower's pension from AHV. We show you how to protect yourself today.

Ehevertrag und Güterstand
Marriage contract and marital status

Who owns what, today and in case of emergency? Early clarity creates security for both partners.

Das Hochzeitsbudget
Wedding budget

Location, celebration, honeymoon: With a realistic budget, your big day is beautiful even financially.

Versicherungen zusammenführen
Combining insurance policies

Household contents, private liability, legal protection: When moving in with each other, most insurance policies cover both partners.

After saying "I do"

What changes in the first year of marriage.

Steuern nach der Heirat
Taxes as a married couple

Starting with the first year of marriage, you must fill out a joint tax report. We can tell you what to look out for and can complete your tax report if desired.

Vorsorge anpassen
Adjust pension provision

Adjust beneficiaries of your occupational pension fund and pillar 3a accounts to your new situation.

Gemeinsam wohnen
Living together

Your first joint apartment or owned home: Proceed with a plan that suits both of you.
