East German property claims are claims filed pursuant to the property claims law (Vermögensgesetz) enacted by reunified Germany in 1990. Claims involve property such as real estate, businesses, and personal property (bank accounts, jewelry, art, ect.). The deadline for filing real estate and business claims was December 31, 1992. The deadline for filing personal property claims was June 30, 1993. In some cases, a recovery can still be obtained even if a claim was not filed.

Claimants face a variety of problems involving providing proof of inheritance, specifying the claim, and dealing with inquiries from the claims office (Amt zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen).  We handle these issues for our clients and have pubilshed a series of articles on this website to provide claimants with information regarding  them (see Publications: German Claims).
