Do you need a notary?

Finding a notary for an estate

Not every estate needs a notary. In the Netherlands a notary is mandatory for real estate, for opening or executing a will, and in case of disputes. A certificate of inheritance is often required to access bank accounts, though banks frequently accept their own form for small amounts. For the inheritance tax declaration itself you do not need a notary. Below are the official search tool, realistic price ranges, and how Nalenta can help if you handle the declaration yourself.
