What De Bakker Advocaten & Erfrechtspecialisten does

De Bakker Advocaten & Erfrechtspecialisten is a Dutch boutique law firm founded in 2015 by Mr. A.C. de Bakker, operating exclusively in the field of inheritance law (erfrecht). The firm is headquartered in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Netherlands, and is registered as a B.V. (private limited company). Its core services encompass legal advice and representation for heirs, executors, testamentary administrators, creditors, legatees, and legitimaries (legitimaries), with particular depth in estate liquidation (vereffening), executor mandates (executele), legitimate portion (legitieme portie) claims, and inheritance litigation through to cassation at the Hoge Raad. The firm is regularly appointed by Dutch courts as vereffenaar and executeur, and it handles international inheritance matters under the EU Succession Regulation.

The firm operates through approximately 9 staff, including 4 specialized advocates and a paralegal-track hire, supported by a senior paralegal with extensive insolvency practice experience and a dedicated estate liquidation officer. Consultations are offered at the Hendrik-Ido-Argbacht office, at clients' homes anywhere in the Netherlands, or via video conferencing. A sub-brand, Uw Vereffenaar B.V., has been established as a dedicated vehicle for estate liquidation mandates. Mr. A.C. de Bakker holds specialist registrations in both erfrecht and cassatie with the Dutch Bar Association and is a member of VEAN and VCCA.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees on a per-matter basis, with a publicly disclosed €190 (incl. VAT) fixed fee for the initial consultation regardless of duration. Client acquisition is driven largely by organic search and content marketing via the erfrechtonline.nl website, which publishes extensive informational articles on Dutch inheritance law, supplemented by court appointments and referrals from professional networks. The firm does not disclose revenue and operates without external funding.
