16 March 2026: Inheritance Law Day

By Stephanie Hasselaar-Veltkamp

On Monday, 16 March 2026, it is Inheritance Law Day. To mark the occasion, you can schedule an appointment with one of the specialised lawyers at GMW lawyers during the coming week to receive free information and advice on inheritance law.

Who is Inheritance Law Day for?

Inheritance Law Day is for anyone who would like to learn more about inheritance law. You can consult us about the administration of an estate as well as other inheritance-related matters. Please contact us to schedule an appointment. You can also arrange an appointment if you are residing abroad.

What are the most frequently asked questions about inheritance law?

The administration of an estate involves many aspects. What is the first step? Is there a will? Are you an heir and, if so, how can you accept or reject the inheritance? Or have you been appointed as an executor and are you unsure about your duties and powers?

For other matters, such as drafting or amending a will, we cannot assist you. For those services, you should contact a notary.

Why seek advice from a lawyer?

If you are dealing with the administration of an estate, it is wise to engage an expert who can explain your rights and obligations. If there are disputes with other heirs, you can also turn to us. Our lawyers can assist you with the administration of an inheritance and can represent you in court if necessary.

Who can you speak to on Inheritance Law Day?

Examples include matters such as the distribution or settlement of a (digital) estate, usufruct, the powers and dismissal of an executor, or determining the statutory forced share (legitieme portie).
