Daamen de Kort van Tuijl Notarissen B.V., trading as DKT Notarissen, is a Dutch professional services firm founded in 1896 that provides notarial services across family law, estate and inheritance law, real estate law, corporate law, and donation planning. The firm operates four physical offices in the Tilburg region (Tilburg/EnTrada, Reeshof, Gilze-Rijen, and Udenhout) and serves two principal customer segments: private individuals handling life events such as home purchases, marriage, divorce, and inheritance, and entrepreneurs requiring corporate structuring, business succession, mergers, and share transfers. The firm holds specialized expertise in cross-border Dutch-Belgian (Neder-Belgisch) estate, family, and corporate law, supported by memberships in the LexUnion and Kronberg Circle international notary networks and affiliations with NICO Notarissen.

The firm's product portfolio is organized by practice area (Familierecht, Erfrecht, Onroerend goed, Ondernemingsrecht, Estate planning, Schenken) plus digital delivery through the NEXTportal client portal and a 'Zelf Regelen' self-service contract platform. Operational tooling includes AI and robotic process automation used in compliance with Dutch privacy and AI legislation. An associated foundation, Stichting executele, bewind en vereffening DKT Notarissen, handles recurring estate administration, trusteeship, and liquidation services staffed by NOVEX-certified executors.

DKT generates revenue on a professional services model, billing clients via hourly rates multiplied by time worked, with fixed office rates or quotes available for defined scopes. Approximately 90 professionals serve the firm, including notaries, kandidaat-notarissen, toegevoegd notaris, juristen, paralegals, and secretarial staff, all shareholder-partners in the B.V. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer activity through offices and the customer portal, event-driven engagement via lectures and home conversation sessions (huiskamergesprekken), and a professional referrer network comprising accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, and brokers. Marketing is content-led through blogs, vlogs, and newsletters, and the firm earned a 2025 Notarisscore Gold customer rating.

• Van der Feltz advocaten: Mid-sized Dutch law firm with a notarial practice covering corporate law, estate planning, and family matters. Comparable in size and full-service orientation to DKT.

Broad incumbents

• AKD: Large Benelux law firm with a notarial practice covering real estate, corporate, and private client matters. National footprint and broader practice mix make it a scaled alternative to DKT.

• Loyens & Loeff: Large Benelux law and tax firm with strong Dutch-Belgian inheritance and corporate practice. Direct competitor for DKT's Dutch-Belgian estate planning niche but at a much larger scale and broader service portfolio.

• Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn: Large Dutch full-service law firm headquartered in The Hague with a notarial practice. Overlaps with DKT on Dutch-Belgian and estate planning work but at a national scale with broader corporate/government clientele.
