Comprehensive retirement law services

RenteMaxRat provides targeted legal services for retired clients and those approaching retirement. We translate complex regulatory material into step-by-step plans: reviewing pensions and entitlements, preparing succession documents, coordinating benefits with social insurers, and establishing durable directives for health and decision-making. Our recommendations are designed to be implementable and compliant with Swiss law.

Pension review and coordination
We assess entitlements across AHV/AVS, occupational pensions and personal solutions to identify lawful optimisation opportunities and prevent benefit losses due to procedural errors. The process includes document verification, timeline mapping and a written action plan for interactions with pension funds and authorities.
Succession and testamentary planning
Clear, concise estate planning reduces uncertainty for heirs. We draft wills, marriage contracts, inheritance agreements and advise on tax-efficient transfers while respecting compulsory heir rules and cantonal formalities. Where needed, we prepare notarial-ready documentation.
Health directives and representation
Advance directives, powers of attorney and guardianship planning protect client preferences if decision-making capacity changes. We prepare legally sound documents tailored to cantonal standards, and coordinate registration or notarisation as required.
How we work

Engagement process — clear, documented, efficient

A structured four-step process helps clients understand timing and deliverables. RenteMaxRat provides written summaries after each stage and a clear checklist to complete implementation with authorities or third parties.

Initial consultation

A focused meeting to identify primary concerns, review key documents and outline immediate legal actions. Consultations can be held at Grand-Rue 65, Coppet or via secure video call.

Document review and analysis

We perform a detailed review of pension statements, existing wills, powers of attorney and medical directives, then produce a written assessment listing legal options and recommended next steps.

Drafting and formalisation

Preparation of required documents — wills, contracts, directives — with attention to cantonal formality requirements and plain-language explanations for clients and family members.

Implementation support

We assist with filing, notarisation, communications with pension funds or authorities and provide a final dossier summarising completed actions and outstanding items.
