International
A civil-law notary can play an important role in international matters. For example, we can advise on the legal implications of international law and how it may affect your personal situation. This may involve inheritance law where rules vary from country to country.
Legal certainty across borders
Expertise in international legal issues
The rules with regard to matrimonial property law and tax aspects are important in this. In addition, if you and your partner do not hold the same nationality or if you were married in another country and/or have lived abroad for an extended period of time, it may be advisable to choose the applicable law so that you avoid ambiguity as to which legal system(s) will apply to your estate.
Our specialists help you navigate the complexities of international legal structures. We will work with you to develop a strategy that takes into account the different legal systems to which your assets may be subject. For entrepreneurs with international interests, we offer tailor-made solutions that utilise the legal and tax differences between countries. In this way, we ensure a coherent approach to your asset planning across borders.
Cooperation with international partners
Our civil-law notaries have in-depth knowledge of European regulations on inheritance and matrimonial property law. This expertise enables us to advise you on the optimal law to choose for your specific situation. Our close cooperation with reliable partners in other countries allows us to provide you with comprehensive advice, even when multiple legal systems apply. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that all aspects of your international asset planning are covered.
