About

A notary office on Jozef Israëlskade with a large family and inheritance law team, which is where most parents end up sooner or later. They draw up wills and handle estate planning, and they can formally establish guardianship so you decide who would raise your children rather than leaving it to a judge. They also do cohabitation, partnership and prenuptial agreements, acknowledgement of a child, co-parenting arrangements, divorce settlements and transferring the family home. Appointments can be booked online and the site runs in English and Dutch.
