Your questions, step by step
Would you like to protect each other if one of you dies? We will examine whether an accretion clause suits your situation and what the consequences are.
Why do I go to the notaire for this?
With an accretion clause, certain rights may transfer to the other party upon death. The civil-law notary assesses whether the mutual opportunities, contributions and form are legally appropriate.
How can an accretion clause protect my partner?
Determine which property and persons are involved.
Compare the arrangement with a will and other protection.
Have conditions, termination and fiscal consequences prepared before signing.
How does this proceed and how long does it take?
Discuss this preferably before a joint purchase. The preparation depends on the property and the chosen structure; there is no fixed processing time.
Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
- Are the mutual opportunities and contributions sufficiently balanced?
- Which property and form are involved?
- How does the arrangement work in case of death, sale or breakup?
- What inheritance and fiscal consequences apply to your situation?
We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.
What should I pay attention to before I sign?
Check whether the clause operates automatically or requires a choice, what happens on sale and how you can terminate it later.
Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.
What else must I arrange afterwards?
Keep the deed with the involved property. Have the arrangement reviewed upon marriage, breakup or change of assets.
Which practical tips can help me?
Do not assume the same consequences as with a will. Request a comparison for your own family and property.
What do these words mean?
- Accretion Clause
- an agreement whereby rights accrue to the surviving party according to the agreed conditions.
- Chance Contract
- an agreement where the outcome depends on an uncertain event.
Where can I find more explanation or help?
You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.
We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
