Does a disinherited child have the right to inspect the will?

Questioner

++question: Does a disinherited child have the right to inspect the will? --stupid answer from the internet: If you have been disinherited, you are only entitled to inspect the part of the will in which you have an interest. That is usually only the part that shows that you have been disinherited. You do not know what else has been arranged. **this is of course the biggest nonsense. if you as a child (deceased parents) want to claim your legitimate portion, then of course you also need the addresses of the other heirs to be able to do that at all! **Do you receive this information if you request it (part of a copy of the will with the addresses of the heirs?) from a notary? and if not: how do you obtain the addresses of the other heirs (brother/sister) so that you can claim your legitimate portion? Please provide a detailed response and explanation. To be sure, I'll make the question a little clearer: How can I find out through official channels who the other heirs are?

The incredibly stupid answer you found is correct and therefore not the greatest nonsense. An executor may have been appointed in the will. You must claim your legitimate estate from that person and from the heirs. You can ask a notary to draw up a declaration of inheritance to determine who the heirs are (and possibly the executor) to whom you can submit your claim from the legitimate estate. You must look up the addresses of the heirs yourself if necessary. Not everything is provided to you ready-made.

your answer: ''. The will may have named an executor. You must claim your legitimate estate from that person and from the heirs. You can ask a notary to draw up a declaration of inheritance to determine who the heirs are (and possibly the executor) to whom you can submit your claim from the legitimate estate. You must look up the addresses of the heirs yourself if necessary. Not everything will be provided to you ready-made.'' **there is no executor. **inheritance statement: are there addresses in it? **You answer: "You must look up the addresses of the heirs yourself if necessary." that was exactly my question! how do i do that? thanks in advance for your help.

The notary who draws up the declaration of inheritance will be able to help you with the addresses of the heirs. It is not mandatory to include them in the VVE. If you cannot get any further via the notary, you will have to investigate yourself via the Municipal Personal Records Database. If necessary, you can hire a researcher (see: erfgenamenonderzoek.nl). Good luck.
