Webinar: Cross-border inheritance law Netherlands-Germany

Border Information Points are organising free webinars on May 18.

Inheritance law can quickly become very complicated, particularly in a cross-border context. For example, what happens if you are a Dutch national living in Germany and receive an inheritance from the Netherlands? In which country do you then have to pay inheritance tax? And how do you ensure that matters concerning your own estate are properly arranged if you are a German living in the Netherlands or a Dutch person living in Germany? Because many people in the Dutch-German border region live on one side of the border but have family in the other country, the Border Information Points are organising two webinars on cross-border inheritance law on May 18. Participation is free of charge.

During the webinars, Branko Reumkens, partner and civil-law notary at LexQuire Tax & Law, will speak in more detail on this topic. He is an expert in both Dutch and German inheritance law and has a particular interest in cross-border inheritance law.

Registration and further information

Both webinars will take place on May 18.

  • The webinar for Germans living in the Netherlands (held in German) starts at 6.15 pm and runs until 7.15 pm. This webinar is aimed at Germans living in the Netherlands. If you are interested in this free German-language webinar, you can register via the online form: https://www.grenzinfo.eu/erfrecht-DEinNL
  • The webinar for Dutch nationals living in Germany (held in Dutch) starts at 7.30 pm and runs until 8.30 pm. This webinar is aimed at Dutch nationals living in Germany. If you are interested in this free webinar, you can register via the online form: https://www.grenzinfo.eu/erfrecht-NederlandersinDE

After registering, you will receive an invitation link to attend the session via MS Teams. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask general questions regarding cross-border inheritance law. However, due to time constraints, it will not be possible to address specific, personal situations.

Staff at the Border Information Points cannot advise you on inheritance law; for this, we would refer you to your own solicitor.
