Personal quote / vision

Estate Planning is a wonderful field that cannot be described in a few words. This also applies to my work. Building a bridge between legal and fiscal aspects, that is what it is all about. What inspires me about this profession is the way in which the various disciplines come together, sometimes in an almost mathematical way. I really enjoy finding customized solutions to seemingly difficult problems.

Specialist experience

  • In my practice I focus on advising high net worth individuals in the broadest sense of the word, in particular (inter)national estate planning
  • I work for high net worth families and individuals, directors and officers, advisors to private clients (such as family offices, notaries, bankers, asset managers, lawyers and tax advisors) and charities
  • Through Forvis Mazars Bewind en Executele BV I regularly work as an executor and/or administrator

Outside jobs

  • I enjoy sharing knowledge in different ways, both with people looking for the best solution for their situation and with people who want to learn the craft. This is why I enjoy teaching, publishing and regularly speaking at internal and external estate planning meetings. Are you looking for a speaker on (international) Estate Planning?
