Projects

  • MeinErbe
    Legal Loves Tech Hackathon 2026 – TUM & LMU (Challenge by the Bavarian Ministry of Justice)
    Legal Tech • Inheritance Law • Visualization • LLM Assistant • +2 more

    MeinErbe makes German statutory succession understandable for people without legal training: a short questionnaire builds an interactive family tree while you type, showing each relative's statutory share, their order of succession (I, II, III) and – for those who inherit nothing – the reason why. Scenarios such as disclaiming an inheritance are recalculated instantly, every rule comes with its citation in the law, a case-aware assistant answers follow-up questions with sources, and results can be exported as PDF. Plain language mode, English, and a fullscreen tree view keep it accessible; the family tree never leaves the browser, so no account and no server-side storage are needed.
