RU Estate Control Check

VB Structuren BV · The Netherlands

Wealth, family and control—designed as one system.

For Dutch high-net-worth individuals, founders and cross-border families.

A will, a BV, insurance and family agreements may all exist separately—and point to different outcomes. VB Structuren brings ownership, authority, liquidity and succession into one practical route.

WHEN CONTROL BECOMES A QUESTION
A successful life does not automatically produce a continuity plan.
Assets can be diversified and every business risk insured. Yet many families have not decided who can act, what happens to ownership and how children receive responsibility when illness, incapacity or death changes everything overnight.
FAMILY WEALTH
Protect the family balance sheet and make the rules of ownership, access and inheritance clear before a difficult moment makes them urgent.
FOUNDER & OWNER-DIRECTOR
Keep the business operating when a founder cannot. Align ownership, decision-making, liquidity and succession with the company you have built.
CROSS-BORDER
Bring Dutch and foreign assets, family members and legal systems into one practical plan rather than a collection of disconnected documents.
  • 01 · Estate Control Check
    A structured review of your family, assets, ownership and existing documents. It identifies the decisions that need to be made first.
  • 02 · Family & Ownership Rules
    Marriage or partnership, wills, life planning, gifts and family governance brought into a practical arrangement that works beyond the first generation.
  • 03 · Business & Cross-Border Continuity
    Business succession for an owner-director, family funds, real estate and international assets: specialist work for structures that need more than a standard will.
YOUR STARTING POINT
Estate Control Check
A focused review of the family, assets, authority and documents that already decide the outcome. Before changing a will or building a tax structure, we identify the decisions, risks and implementation sequence that matter first.
How it works
Structure first. Implementation second.
(01)
Listen
Start with the family, not the instrument
We establish who needs protection, what must keep working and the choices the family should make before selecting any instrument.
This gives the rest of the work a clear direction: security, control, value and responsibility can be dealt with in the right order.
(02)
See the whole picture
Map ownership, documents, authority, liquidity and international facts
Before proposing a route, we map the facts and documents that already shape the outcome: family, assets, ownership, authority, liquidity and countries.
Only then can we see whether the intention, ownership and legal default routes still tell the same story.

A working sequence

Structure is not a document. It is a sequence of decisions that must keep working.

Clarity makes a design possible. A clear design makes implementation accountable. Review keeps the arrangement current when family, assets or responsibilities change.

The right order
  1. 01Clarify

    People, assets, authority and documents

  2. 02Design

    Ownership, protection, liquidity and succession

  3. 03Carry through

    Notarial, tax, company and administration work

Three common entry points

Start with the tension in the system, not with an instrument.

Ownership, authority, liquidity and countries are reviewed together before a will, gift or company structure is selected.

01 / Family & ownership Who needs protection, what belongs to whom, and what happens if the default route remains unchanged? Explore family continuity → 02 / Founder & DGA Who receives value, voting power and management authority—and when? Explore business succession → 03 / Several countries How should people, assets, documents and procedures across jurisdictions be coordinated? Explore the cross-border route →

From uncertainty to an operating plan

Structure first. Implementation second.

The sequence matters: identify the uncertainty, confirm the facts, make the family decision, coordinate implementation and keep the result current.

01Orient

Use the Guide and working maps to identify the question.

02Test

See where a plan may rely on assumptions rather than evidence.

03Estate Control Check

Review facts and documents before choosing a route.

04Implementation

Coordinate the right tax, legal, notarial and administration work.

05Operating review

Keep the structure current as family, assets and countries change.

See the Estate Control Check How the work is structured

Nine routes · one coordinated system

Choose the decision that already needs clarity.

Each route starts with a concrete family or business question, leaves a usable map and assigns formal conclusions to the appropriate specialists.

02 / Protect continuity

Who acts, what remains available and which rules endure?

Separate control, benefit and implementation before a difficult moment makes the decision urgent.

  1. 04Levenstestament / Incapacity ControlWho can act during absence or incapacity—and on what legal basis?→
  2. 05Lifetime Giving PlanHow much can the personal reserve withstand, and what must be maintained each year?→
  3. 06Family Fund & Family GovernanceDoes the family need pooled capital—or rules without a fund first?→
03 / Coordinate complexity

Where do company, family and several legal systems meet?

Turn specialist work into one sequence without pretending that one adviser confirms every conclusion.

  1. 07DGA / Business Succession Control PlanWho receives value, voting power and management authority—and when?→
  2. 08Real Estate & Cross-Border Estate ReviewHow should people, assets, documents and procedures across several countries be coordinated?→
  3. 09Foreign Trust / Foundation Special SituationsDoes the foreign structure do what the family expects it to do in the Netherlands?→

Composite working scenarios

Not promises, but a visible process and a testable result.

The three examples below are composite educational scenarios. They combine recurring questions to show how the work is structured; they are not individual client stories or testimonials.

  1. 01Composite scenario · not a client testimonial

    A family, a BV and assets across jurisdictions

    Situation
    The family lives in the Netherlands while heirs, assets and documents are spread across more than one jurisdiction.
    Review
    We align the succession route, property regime, BV governance, incapacity authority and available liquidity.
    Deliverable
    One decision map: who acts, which documents need review, where local confirmation is required and what happens next.
  2. 02Composite scenario · not a client testimonial

    Control continuity before succession

    Situation
    A founder wants family and company decisions to continue during temporary unavailability or incapacity.
    Review
    We test powers of attorney, articles, shareholder agreements, banking mandates and personal instructions together.
    Deliverable
    A control-continuity protocol and gap list linking every role and action to its evidence and update owner.
  3. 03Composite scenario · not a client testimonial

    Transferring value without losing control too early

    Situation
    A family is considering lifetime transfers while retaining income, governance and clear conditions for the next generation.
    Review
    We compare transfer routes, voting and economic rights, liquidity, tax decision points and implementation conditions.
    Deliverable
    An options matrix with decision gates, questions for the relevant advisers and a staged documentation sequence.

About this project

A complex family and complex capital cannot be reduced to one document.

VB Structuren helps a family see the whole system, make its own decisions and then coordinate notarial, tax, company and cross-border implementation.

A calm next step

If something happened tomorrow, would the people around you know what to do?

We will decide together whether an Estate Control Check or a focused workstream is the useful first step. Start with high-level facts only; no confidential documents are required for a first conversation.
