What do we record?

We examine the documents and legal implications. You do not need to work out the arrangement yourself beforehand. We will agree on which missing documents we can request.

Your questions, step by step

Do you want to hold some possessions together and others separately? We explain how you can arrange that within your marriage contract.

Why do I go to the notaire for this?

Within separation of property, an added internal joint property can be devised. The notaire will determine with you which assets and liabilities belong to it.

Can we share certain assets and keep others separate?
  1. Place your existing marriage contract and property side by side.

  2. Determine what is joint and how it is managed.

  3. Discuss the consequences upon divorce, death and debts before the deed.

How does this proceed and how long does it take?

The preparation depends on the existing arrangement and the assets involved. Inform us of a planned purchase or other important dates in advance.

Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
  • Which assets and liabilities become joint?
  • Who manages this property and how are the creditors affected?
  • How does this fit with the existing separation of property?
  • What happens upon divorce and death?

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 the boundaries, powers, debts and division. The name of the arrangement does not yet specify precisely what protection your text provides.

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 proof of later contributions and payments. Ensure new purchases fit within the agreed arrangement.

Which practical tips can help me?

Request examples with your home and business to see what remains separate and what is shared.

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.
