Vermögensangelegenheiten

Vermögensangelegenheiten refers to matters concerning assets and finances in German-speaking contexts. The term covers the acquisition, ownership, administration, disposition and protection of wealth, including movable and immovable property, financial assets, claims and liabilities, and other resources. It is used across personal, familial and institutional spheres and underpins related fields such as asset management, financial planning and estate planning.

In daily life, Vermögensangelegenheiten include budgeting, debt management, saving, investment, retirement planning, and the handling of real estate and other property. In family or succession matters, it relates to the distribution of assets through wills and inheritance law, alimony, and the management of assets for minors or incapacitated persons.

In corporate and public contexts, the term extends to asset management, valuation and depreciation, capital structure, financing decisions and risk management, as well as compliance with relevant financial reporting requirements. It also encompasses governance aspects of how assets are acquired, used and disposed of within organizations.

In legal proceedings, Vermögensangelegenheiten may appear in relation to asset disclosure and asset verification. Terms like Vermögensauskunft (asset disclosure) and Vermögensverzeichnis (asset list) are used in contexts such as enforcement, insolvency or solvency checks to determine a person’s or entity’s financial position.

Professionals involved in Vermögensangelegenheiten include notaries, tax consultants, financial planners, lawyers and asset managers. The concept functions as a broad umbrella for planning, safeguarding and optimizing the value and use of assets across private and professional life.
