We have been successfully providing our services to barristers, solicitors and fellow researchers from many different countries around the world, focusing primarily on determining the heirs in accordance with a last will or the (foreign) laws of intestacy. Once determined, the current whereabouts of the beneficiaries are established. You can also contact us to obtain certificates, prenuptial agreements and last wills from abroad.

We carry out asset research both within the Netherlands and abroad at the request of notaries and laywers among others. We also conduct research at the request of and provide aid to creditors [of an estate or an heir] by identifying assets belonging to the estate which may be sold in order to settle the claim. Asset research is essential, not least because it determines the tax base for inheritance tax. Executors or administrators and court-appointed liquidators are jointly and severally liable for the payment of inheritance tax.

The Grafrust Netherlands Foundation preserves the burial rights of ('eternal') (family) graves and in doing so helps prevent these rights from expiring. By transferring your burial rights to the Foundation you are securing them for generation to come.

With DutchProbate.com we offer services to (descendants of) emigrants and expats of Dutch descent who (may) have a claim against (part of) a Dutch estate.

There is often a situation in which the client cannot properly oversee what his rights are and what rules of play apply to executors and/or other heirs. Not infrequently, there is also a tense relationship between the client and his overseas family members.

We provide our clients with substantive legal advice, assist them throughout the entire process and act as their proxy, whether or not in proceedings before the cantonal court. More information can be read at www.dutchprobate.com.

As the industry is unregulated, the IAPPR feels that probate researchers, genealogists and heir hunters need to have the experience and legal knowledge to complete their work properly and to preserve the reputation for quality nurtured over many years by IAPPR members.
