You will find questions clients often ask about our services
A notary ensures that agreements in legal transactions are orderly arranged and reliably executed.
You need to bring a valid identification document (passport/driver’s license/ID card)
A will is a notarial deed in which you specify who your heirs are and what they will receive after your passing. It also allows for inclusion of future situations, such as having children or if your partner remarries after your demise, or disinheriting legal heirs. In the will, you appoint an executor to handle your estate settlement.
In a will, you can outline various provisions regarding death. A codicil allows you to leave only household goods and jewelry to specific individuals. A codicil can be self-drafted, provided it’s handwritten, dated, and signed, while a will is recorded in a notarial deed.
Yes, you can. A disinherited child is not an heir in the estate and does not share in the assets. However, a child has the right to a so-called statutory portion. This statutory portion is a monetary sum to which a child is entitled, regardless of the will.
An NV is a company in Surinamese law with a divided capital into shares, where each shareholder participates with one or more shares. Shareholders are not personally liable for the company’s actions, and the NV itself is a legal entity responsible for its own actions.
The NV is managed by a board appointed at its establishment. The board consists of one or more directors appointed and dismissed by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
A Naamloze Vennootschap (NV) is incorporated by means of a notarial deed and requires at least one natural person or legal entity as its founder.
A Stichting is a legal entity created by an individual through a notarial deed. It operates independently in legal matters and must have the word “stichting” in its name.
The founding deed of a Stichting must contain its statutes. The Stichting cannot distribute profits to founders or directors unless it serves an ideal or social purpose.
A Maatschap is a cooperation agreement between two or more individuals aiming to combine resources for mutual benefit. It typically involves professional activities rather than running a business.
Profit-sharing and responsibilities among partners are determined by the agreements made among them. In the absence of specific agreements, the law applies, and partners have no influence on each other.
A Vereniging is a cooperative form where founders (minimum two persons) have a specific goal in mind.
A Vereniging established without a notarial deed cannot acquire real estate or act as an heir. In contrast, a Vereniging established with a notarial deed must register in the Chamber of Commerce, and the responsible board members’ details need to be deposited.
VOF is a partnership for conducting business under a shared name where all partners are personally liable for the partnership’s debts. CV involves active and silent partners, where silent partners are not liable with their private assets.
VOF or CV can be established via either an underhand or notarial deed and do not possess legal personality.
The documents required for property transfer include proof of ownership (transport deed), original plot map, extracts & nationality declarations, the seller’s family register, and a valuation report (not older than a year).
Usually, the buyer or acquirer covers the costs of the transfer deed, partitioning, and additional expenses, unless otherwise agreed upon between the parties.
A mortgage is a security right established to ensure the payment of a debt. It’s placed on immovable property. If the debtor fails to meet payment obligations, the mortgage holder can execute a public auction of the property to collect the owed amount.
The two main types are:

Couples can establish rights and obligations through:
Yes, although it’s more complex after marriage. Creating or modifying prenuptial agreements post-marriage requires court approval if community property already exists. It involves more time and possibly expenses.
After divorce, especially in cases of community property, ex-spouses need to visit a notary to divide shared assets and debts. Real estate can be allocated to one ex-spouse, with options for buyouts or gifting the other’s share. Alternatively, they might jointly decide to sell or gift the property to a third party.
Alongside assets and claims, considerations must include handling liabilities and debts, such as existing mortgages or other financial obligations.
