“A death raises numerous different issues of family law with which we assist the relatives. However, the expansion is also a consequence
of our focusing our consulting on general family law, including cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements and division of estate”, says Niklas Steenberg.
Family law is also undergoing rapid digitization, involving elements
of artificial intelligence, AI. Agreements and forms can be generated quickly and easily using digital tools. One example is the Until app, with which you can put together a cohabitation agreement on your mobile phone. Another trend increasing the need for Verahill’s services is that players such as banks, insurance companies and real estate agents increasingly demand legal assistance for their clients.
“It is Mellby Gård that has made Klarahill and Verahill possible. As the principal shareholder, Mellby Gård combines a long-term view, financial strength, credibility and an understanding and sympathy for all of the individual business owners we have brought aboard”, says Niklas Steenberg.

FACTS
Klarahill AB was founded in 2014 with the business concept of consolidating the highly fragmented funeral director segment. The intention is for the group to be the serious premium option for people in mourning. This is achieved
by retaining the commitment of individual entrepreneurs through participation and joint ownership in an “ICA model”. The subsidiary Verahill was founded in 2016/2017 and deals with aspects of family law that arise when someone dies, including estate inventory and inheritance issues, but also the legal matters of life for the family.
Klarahill has been a part of Mellby Gård since 2015. Mellby Gård’s representatives on the Board of Directors: Sven Knutsson (Chairman) and Johan Andersson.
