Children give up inheritance over 800 thousand euros, only to take mother from Kosovo to Switzerland

It's a typical story of an immigrant family. In the early 1990s, shortly after the fall of the former Yugoslavia, parents had gone to Switzerland with their four children from Kosovo and had built a new life in the St canton. Gallen.

When the children grew up and Father turned 52, the parents decided to return to their old homeland.
Almost 20 years later, Father died and Mother returned to Switzerland to her youngest daughter, who now lives in the Cyril Canton. But this job is not that easy, because permission to stay in Switzerland and the 69-year-old woman has long expired.

Cyril's immigration office has immediately refused its return to Switzerland, writes Anzeiger Tags. Its income of about 20,000 francs from the AHV dew pension and from a modest fortune is not enough to live in Switzerland as an unemployed pensioner without additional benefits (EL).

But the woman's daughter refused to accept that decision. Because, according to her, after all, her mother was her father's sole heir. And this property consists of a total of 26 properties totaling 63,000 square metres and two residential buildings with over 800 square metres of residential space.

According to a Kosovo architect's assessment report, this legacy has a market value of just over 830 thousand euros. The girl argues that this would suffice to ensure her mother's independent stance in Switzerland.

However, the security directorate rejected their complaint against the negative decision of the migration office. According to her, it has not proved that the family mother is the only heir to riches.

The Administrative Court has already ruled differently, as seen by the act of judgment published Monday. The reason for changing the stance has become an official legacy decree from Kosovo, which the girl has handed over later. This indicates that all four children living in Switzerland have borne their share of the inheritance to their mother.

So the court has instructed the Security Department to make a new decision. In particular, it should be explained whether the legacy actually has the value declared by the family and whether land and real estate can be sold in Kosovo.

The fact that the family has been subject to tax in Switzerland for about ten years (when the couple lived in Switzerland) should also be considered. In addition, after her return, the woman has maintained regular contact with her children and grandchildren in Switzerland and has also been visited by them in her residence.
