Malene Eigtved is an attorney, an authorized estate administrator, and a certified mediator.


Malene Eigtved serves as an authorized estate administrator at the Copenhagen City Court and the District Court of Hillerød, providing advice on estate administration, inheritance law, succession planning, and wills. Having handled several hundred estates, Malene combines a strong professional foundation with extensive experience and dedication, making her a highly skilled and seasoned estate administrator. Many estates and inheritance cases are characterized by a relatively high level of conflict. As a certified mediator, Malene applies mediation tools and experience, along with an in-depth knowledge of rules and practices, to manage conflicts. Her goal is to guide parties through the process as peacefully and straightforwardly as possible.


Malene is a member of Danske Arveretsadvokater (Danish Inheritance Lawyers) and is part of the Trygt Boligskifte certification scheme.


As a certified mediator, Malene has resolved numerous conflicts for both businesses and private individuals. Her experience with a wide variety of cases makes her a highly effective mediator. However, it is her curiosity about hearing the parties’ stories and identifying the core issues that truly drives her conflict resolution approach. Once the underlying issue is clear, the settlement or agreement can begin to take shape.


Malene is the Chair of the Board at the Mediation Institute (Mediationsinstituttet) and volunteers as a mediator in a social mediation program.

In addition, Malene advises on general corporate law and insolvency matters.


Malene has been appointed as the Danish Bar Council’s contact person for the Copenhagen judicial district for the period January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026.
