ELLEN VAN SWAAIJ FAMILIERECHT
SPECIALIZED LAW ATTORNEY
AND MEDIATOR
FAMILY LAW * INHERITANCE LAW
Family Law. It may involve a divorce in which emotions such as disappointment, anger and sadness about the failed relationship can run high and there are concerns about the future: your children, finances, division of property and housing. But it can also be about alimony or division after divorce or cohabitation. Important matters that need to be taken care of properly, and all of this while you are probably on a roller coaster of emotions.
Inheritance Law. Family law and inheritance law are two separate areas of law. I practice both. Dutch inheritance law is very complex and requires specialist knowledge. In addition, inheritance law cases often involve emotions from the past. People can feel deprived. Or think that the other is not fair. A heated argument can easily escalate and damage family ties that will never be resolved.
Get the best. I am registered as a lawyer with the Dutch Bar Association. The legal profession is highly regulated in the Netherlands: as a lawyer, I am under constant supervision and my practice is subject to legally established quality requirements. I am a member of the Dutch Association of Family and Inheritance Law Attorneys and Divorce Mediators (vFAS). This specialty association is an authority in the field of family and inheritance law advocacy and mediation. I have completed the legal specialization courses in Family Law and Inheritance Law, making me a vFAS recognized specialist in these two areas of law. But it takes more. It also comes down to coaching and "emotion management." I practice my profession with passion and enthusiasm, act decisively, pay attention to your personal situation and communicate straightforward, even if the message is not pleasant or unfavorable. Last but not least: I started my law practice in Rotterdam and worked there as a lawyer for almost 20 years. The result: a born and raised Maastricht native with a Rotterdam no-nonsense mentality and a straightforward approach to people.
The principles of my practice: small-scale, specialized and personal, tailored service. The emphasis is on matters concerning family law, inheritance law and alimony and I focus in particular on entrepreneurs, directors and shareholders, independent professionals and professionals and their partner/spouse. I know what it takes.
