Inheritances and donated assets have reached a peak of €109 billion in Germany, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported on Wednesday. Last year, Germans received €108.8 billion worth of donations and inheritances, according to a Destatis report. Another finding from the Destatis report is that inheritances and donations have developed differently. Last year, assets of around €44 billion were inherited, just under 16 percent more than a year before. READ ALSO: One in five Germans will bequeath at least €250,000 in inheritance
