Free inheritance law information meeting on September 9, 2025

Notary Mr. GHHJ (Geert) Janssen MRE MBA, an expert in wills and inheritance tax, offers free Tips & Tricks to help keep your assets (such as the equity in your home) within the family and prevent them from disappearing unnecessarily into the national treasury.

Using the story of the Van Oppen family, he will show you how creating a will and a living will (a power of attorney) can not only prevent a lot of misery but also earn you a lot of money. In our experience, many people have no idea and don't seem to realize the consequences of choices they make or, often through ignorance, don't make.

To this end, we regularly organize free information meetings for those who are interested, for which you can register.

The next information meeting will take place:

Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM (doors open at 7:00 PM)
Location: Café Chassé in the MaesHuys, Verploegh Chasséplein 1, 3134 BZ Vlaardingen

You can register here .

Participation is free, as is the coffee. However, space is limited. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. After receiving your registration, we will inform you whether you are eligible. If, due to overwhelming interest, you are not eligible, you will be placed on the waiting list for the next meeting a month later.

We look forward to your registration!

Beware. There are "fake notaries" operating in the region. They are commercially driven salespeople, like door-to-door salespeople, who cleverly try to foist useless wills and other products on often vulnerable consumers in rented rooms and at people's homes. Stay away from them. Such individuals, who are not always honest, are often unskilled and are not subject to the strict professional and behavioral rules that apply to (real) notaries.

These fake notaries are not impartial, not independent, not sworn to a professional oath, are free to do as they please, have no confidentiality obligation, are not subject to disciplinary law, are not required to be located in a specific municipality with their own physical office, are not required to maintain a safe, are not required to keep deeds for 70 years, are not obligated to report their business and personal figures quarterly to the Financial Supervision Office, have no training requirements, no continuing professional development obligation, no professional liability insurance, no ban on commissions, insufficient knowledge, and much more.

We personally see and hear about many heartbreaking cases, aggressive and intimidating sales tactics, and home visits that make customers unable or unwilling to say no. We see and hear about unnecessary products or services being foisted on unsuspecting, often vulnerable, consumers when they subsequently come to us, a real notary, asking if they can still reverse, amend, revoke, rectify, annul, or otherwise.

So think before you leap. Don't end up having to cover the well after the calf has drowned.
