Nobody is going to do that automatically! It is primarily up to the heirs. https://www.doehetzelfnotaris.nl/wann... In the Netherlands, it is not the case that a notary or the government will do anything when someone has died. Many people have that image, because they have seen it in films. That is not how it works. The surviving relatives have to arrange everything themselves. Starting with the funeral and then possibly settling the inheritance. This may also include filing an inheritance tax return. Even if there is a will, the surviving relatives must execute it themselves. Sometimes an executor is appointed in the will. Then he or she gets to work. In principle, you do not need a notary for all these activities. Sometimes you do need one if, for example, you need a Declaration of Inheritance.
