One notary is not the same as another

There are plenty of myths about notaries. But it's certainly not a myth that not all notaries are the same. And we haven't even mentioned the Schaap case yet. Quality, speed, service, and price vary considerably between notaries.

Something for everyone

Look. If you want to eat out, you can go to McDonald's or the Librije. If you want a car, you can choose a Skoda or a Rolls-Royce. Between these extremes, there's a lot conceivable. There's something for everyone. Notaries are no different.

We are MAES notaries

We are an independent, full-service notary office serving individuals, businesses, and (semi-)government bodies in the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Area. We specialize in family and inheritance law, corporate law, and real estate. We guide our clients through the moments that truly matter in life, both professionally and personally. We offer peace of mind, reliability, and security. We are impeccable, dedicated, and honest. We offer competitive rates commensurate with the value we add.

Distinctive

Our approach is distinctive. Not as a goal, but as a result. We contrast all shades of gray with color. We show who we are and what we stand for. With our energy, vision, and dedication. We are visible. Entrepreneurial. Social. We are outgoing. We are innovators. Not followers. We are motivated to be the most client-focused notary office in the region. We want our clients to be proud of the personal relationship we have with them. And euphoric about what we offer them professionally. But above all, we want them to enjoy being with us. We want them to be able to laugh together. And sometimes even a little at themselves.

Extra mile

We hear that with many civil-law notaries these days, it takes months before you can finally get an appointment. And once they do take on your case, the progress is often excruciatingly slow. We find this undesirable. With us, you'll get your turn immediately. After all, we've invested heavily and promptly in IT, digitalization, and AI. We succeed – against the tide – in recruiting and retaining good people and taking responsibility for their job satisfaction. Therefore, we have low staff turnover. We have tightly organized and well-managed work processes. And if necessary, we work for our clients outside office hours, with love and dedication. Because we like to go the extra mile for you and yours.

We are mobile and flexible

We can handle a lot of things for our clients digitally, online, and remotely. Often, you don't even need to come to us. But we're happy to welcome our clients to our office. If you prefer, we can also meet you by appointment at our hubs in Amsterdam's Zuidas district, in the heart of Rotterdam, or on the sand in The Hague. But we're not confined to our office. We're mobile. And flexible. We're happy to visit you, by invitation and in consultation, if desired. This applies to both business and private clients. And for private clients, especially in cases where you're not mobile, for example, due to age or admission to a hospital, nursing home, or hospice.

A good notary

A good notary will help you impeccably, diligently, and honestly, but above all, quickly and affordably. With your house and mortgage. Your family and relationships. Or with your business. Our staff knows that. And our clients know that. They give us an average of 9 out of 10 .

Reach out. Free, no-obligation consultation.

Do you need legal, tax, or notarial support, or do you need a deed drawn up? Let us know. Would you like a free, no-obligation consultation first? In person. With our notary, Mr. GHHJ (Geert) Janssen MRE MBA ? During office hours at our office. Or would you prefer us to meet you at our social hub De Plesman in The Hague, diagonally across from Madurodam? Or would you prefer the notary to visit you at home? For a good conversation at the kitchen table. Perhaps you prefer evenings or weekends. A video meeting via Teams is also perfectly conceivable. With us, it's all possible.

Email us at service@maesnotarissen.nl with your name and phone number, and the subject line " Request a free consultation ." You can also chat with us in the lower left corner of the screen. We'd be happy to schedule a meeting and look forward to seeing you soon.

Good for each other

MAES notaries. Well-connected. And MAES...with AE.
