Property Restitution:
A Complex, Expanding Field

The field of property restitution is fast expanding as news continues to break about property, money and fine art that were seized from many Germans, both Jews and non-Jews. The process of property restitution involves a complex research component that may often involve genealogical research, determination of the community of heirs, application for a certificate of inheritance (Erbscheinantrag), collection and presentation of all inheritance related documents as well as negotiation with the relevant Amt zur Regelung offener Vermogensfragen (AroV).

Frenkiel International is presently involved in over 400 restitution claims and is in the process of marketing the affected properties. We have direct contact with these claimants as well as with prominent lawyers worldwide who specialize in the field of restitution claims.
