Sieta Autar-Matawlie

‘In-Depth Knowledge with a Human Touch’

Handling an inheritance is no easy task. Even when everything goes according to plan, decisions must be made—beyond the emotional aspect—about matters such as estate settlement, usufruct, and the legitimate portion. When additional complications arise, such as disinheritance, uncooperative executors, or significant financial interests, it can be challenging to maintain an overview.

This is where Sieta Autar-Matawlie, a lawyer specialising in inheritance law, can provide invaluable support. Sieta is not only well-versed in the legal aspects; but also deeply immersed in the human side of such matters. A clear explanation of your position, the choices that need to be made, and their consequences, to know exactly where you stand: that’s what you can expect from Sieta.

Sieta advises and litigates in often complex inheritance cases, whether it concerns the settlement of the inheritance or the powers of executors. She also supports clients in matters related to administration, guardianship, and mentorship.

In addition to her work as an inheritance lawyer, Sieta holds numerous board positions. She is the chair of the Abhilasa Global Serve Foundation and the secretary of the Friends of Surinamese Law Foundation. With her Surinamese-Hindustani background, Sieta is well-versed in Surinamese (inheritance) law. She assists charities with the settlement of donations and estates, writes for professional journals, and is a columnist for Margriet Magazine.

What attracts Sieta to GMW advocaten is the focus on specialised, tailored solutions. Additionally, the freedom she experiences to shape her ambitions within a close-knit team makes GMW the perfect match for Sieta as an empathetic and driven professional.
