The Small Estate Declaration (Verklaring van Erfrecht voor een kleine nalatenschap) is a specialized document used in the Dutch legal system when handling estates that fall below specified value thresholds. This document serves as a more streamlined and cost-effective alternative to a full Certificate of Inheritance, while still providing legal certainty to financial institutions and other parties involved in the estate settlement. It is particularly useful when the estate consists primarily of basic assets such as a bank account, household effects, and small investments. The declaration includes crucial information about the deceased, their heirs, and inheritance rights, enabling banks and other institutions to release assets to the rightful heirs with confidence. This document type is specifically designed to simplify inheritance procedures under Dutch law while maintaining legal validity and protecting all parties involved.
