Specialist inheritance lawyer
Contact a specialized inheritance lawyer? For this you have come to the right place at Bout Advocaten from Groningen. Settling an estate can be complicated for several reasons. On the one hand, the content of the will and the legal rules may raise questions. On the other hand, family relationships can be complex. In such a case, it may be helpful and sensible to seek advice from a probate lawyer or to receive longer-term assistance from a probate lawyer.
mr. As inheritance and family law lawyers and mediators, Van Eck and mr. Seip are used to assisting clients dealing with conflicts in which emotion plays a role. From their professionalism, as inheritance lawyers with an understanding of the emotional side of a case, they can also keep their focus on the business and legal side of the case. This is necessary in order to find solutions or possibly to bring the case to court.
Both Mr. Van Eck and Mr. Seip have years of experience as inheritance lawyers. They specialize in both family law and inheritance law. The advantage is that in complex situations we can also think along with each other and Bout Advocaten also has other specialized lawyers at its disposal. Inheritance law sometimes also overlaps with other jurisdictions.
What Mr. Seip or Mr. Van Eck can do for you? Sometimes it is sufficient to obtain advice once, for example about the explanation of a will or to be able to consider whether or not you accept the inheritance (beneficially). It may also be desirable, in addition to consultation with family members about the settlement of an estate, to be independently informed and guided by an inheritance lawyer. The family does not need to be involved in this. It's more of a support. Sometimes mediation between the family members about the settlement of the estate can be a good solution because this approach allows emotions to be better regulated and the business settlement can run more smoothly.
In extreme cases, it may be necessary for the inheritance lawyer to start proceedings before the subdistrict court judge or court. It may also be the case that another family member starts proceedings and it is therefore necessary to enlist the assistance of an inheritance lawyer. In that situation, it may be possible to try to reach a solution out of court by means of consultation with the inheritance lawyer.
In all cases mentioned, you can contact Mr. Van Eck or Mr. Seip by telephone to find out what best suits your situation.
Bout Advocaten has two lawyers who specialize in the law of persons and family law in the broadest sense of the word. They are both affiliated with the VFAS specialist association and have extensive practical experience. They can therefore assist you with all your questions related to the law of persons and family law, including divorces and (child and/or partner) alimony issues.
Problems in the private sphere are accompanied by many emotions. Unfortunately we cannot remove these for you. However, it appears that legally correct information and careful support lead to better control of the situation. Our lawyers are trained not only to provide you with legal assistance, but also to guide you through the emotional settlement, regardless of the legal problem.
You have also come to the right place at Bout Advocaten for mediation during a divorce. We employ expert and experienced mediators who can assist you. Read more about our options and the professional working method during divorce mediation on this page.
Why can mediation offer a good outcome during a divorce? Sometimes there is disagreement about the agreements that have to be made during a divorce, but it is expected that this can still be resolved in good consultation with expert guidance. In that situation, it is not necessarily necessary for both to engage their own lawyer. Mediation can then be a very good and suitable alternative.
Everyone can call themselves a mediator, but not everyone has the expertise to do so. It is important that the mediator not only has followed mediation training, but also has knowledge of legal and tax aspects that play a role in the conflict.
Both Mr. Van Eck and Mr. Seip have that knowledge and experience. Both have been working in family and inheritance law for quite some time. They are also both affiliated with the Association of Family and Inheritance Lawyers and Divorce Mediators (vFAS) . They have received a good education in which both the legal and fiscal, as well as the psychological aspects of a divorce have been dealt with.
They are required to attend annual training in the field of family and inheritance law. As lawyers and mediators, Mr. Seip and Mr. Van Eck also fall under disciplinary law. This shows the responsibility they bear in the way they carry out their work.
Mediation in a divorce usually consists of a few joint conversations. During the first meeting, a plan of action with concrete tasks is drawn up. The mediator also has a number of tasks, such as providing information about legal regulations and, in the event of a divorce, making alimony calculations.
The mediator records the agreements made in an agreement or divorce settlement. If there is a divorce involving minor children, the mediator will supervise the preparation of the parenting plan. If the parties have an interest in this or in the case of divorce, the mediator also submits a petition to the court. Because Mr. Van Eck and Mr. Seip are both lawyers, they can take care of this without the intervention of an extra party.
Would you like to talk to a mediator from Bout Advocaten? Please feel free to contact us by phone. We are happy to tell you more about the possibilities of mediation during a divorce. Of course you can always visit our office in Groningen on the Ossenmarkt.
Intellectual property law, also known as IP law, is a collection of rights that protect (creative) human achievements, elaborated ideas and distinguishing marks. Well-known intellectual property rights include copyright, trademark law, trade name law and patent law.
Intellectual property rights can be divided into three categories:
An IP right is an absolute right. This means that you, as an IP right holder, are the only one who can decide vis-à-vis everyone what may or may not happen with your intellectual property right.
For example, only the IP right holder may:
It is also possible to transfer IP rights, to grant licenses to them or to make other contractual agreements about them.
Within companies, IP rights play an increasingly important role and also represent an increasing value. In the past, the value of a company mainly consisted of its tangible assets (such as buildings and machines). Nowadays, it is often the case that the value of a company consists largely of intangible assets, which also include IP rights.
Companies invest a lot of time, money and energy in developing IP rights and these rights must therefore be protected. IP law offers various enforcement options. In addition to the possibility of claiming an injunction against the infringement in court, other claims can also be filed, such as compensation for damages, payment of profits and an Article 1019h claim based on which full reimbursement of legal costs is claimed.
Our lawyers can assist you in recording and protecting your IP rights. We can take action against parties who infringe your IP rights, but we can also assist you if you are accused of infringing the rights of another party. Feel free to contact us.
