"The settlement of the inheritance often leads to quarrelsDe Telegraaf reported today. Research conducted by the associations vFAS, VMN and EPN shows that a child is often designated as an executor, but that this regularly leads to arguments and even lawsuits. At Partiar we regularly encounter these situations.

Conflict between heirs

When multiple heirs are in the picture and a child, who is both heir and executor, this can lead to conflicts between the heirs. Certain choices are not supported or questioned. Settlement of an estate is a complicated process and can sometimes take a long time. Emotions sometimes run high. In addition, a lot of expertise is involved in the financial and administrative settlement of an inheritance. Think, for example, of matters such as canceling subscriptions and insurance, filing income and inheritance tax returns, arranging banking matters and evicting and possibly selling a home. In a time of mourning, these are difficult matters to arrange. In short, there is a lot involved in settling an estate.

Enable Independent Executor

An independent executor can help heirs with this. A professional executor is generally more distant from the deceased. A professional executor is an outsider and not involved in the emotions of heirs, but takes this into account. In addition, more expertise is available in-house, which promotes the settlement of the inheritance.
