As a parent living in the Netherlands, have you considered what would happen if you were no longer here? Who would care for your children? Who would become their guardian? And what would happen to your estate?

Many parents are unaware that if you die while resident in the Netherlands, your entire estate is subject to Dutch inheritance tax. Planning ahead ensures that your loved ones are protected and your assets are handled according to your wishes. The Dutch Wills and Testaments free presentation in English offers essential guidance to help you prepare for the unthinkable.

This online session is part of a series of parenting presentations offered by Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR) as part of its community support for international and expat parents. The school believes that parent education is key to raising happy, healthy children and to fostering strong families and communities.

Death and taxes are uncomfortable topics, but they are crucial to discuss. Without an estate plan, your heirs could face significant tax burdens, and the courts could decide how your assets are divided - including determining who will raise your children. 

Every parent should have a will to prevent legal or financial complications if the unexpected occurs. Married or cohabiting, residents of the Netherlands must be aware that Dutch inheritance law applies to their estate, and a legally appointed guardian must be designated for minor children. This presentation provides clear, practical information so parents can take action confidently and gain peace of mind.
