Creditor of an unclaimed estate?
As a creditor in an unclaimed estate, you do not necessarily have to be left empty-handed. But what can you do to get your invoice paid? According to Section 4:204 of the Dutch Civil Code, the Court may appoint a liquidator at your request.
For example, an estate is unclaimed if;
- not all heirs are known or respond;
- all known heirs have refused the estate;
- the estate is not administered by an executor (named in a will).

Liquidator appointment procedure
Partiar can conduct the proceedings on your behalf through a lawyer and declare itself willing to be appointed as liquidator. A requirement here is that the estate must be able to bear the (judicial) costs and the salary of the liquidator. Some insight into the size of the estate is therefore necessary. In this procedure, the costs incurred and the liquidator's wages are paid from the estate.
