A house abroad in the file

A Dutch file can contain a line that points to a house abroad. That line belongs there as soon as you know that the house exists. It is a pointer in this estate inventory, not a transfer and not a local deed. Note the country, the place and the address as you know them. Leave empty what you have only heard said, and put a task there. On the spot the house needs a deed or a registration that you do not replace with a Dutch description. Request that local deed. Until it is there, you describe the house as an item of which the title abroad is still open. You do not act as if the Dutch administration has already transferred that title.

Do not value this house with a Dutch WOZ. A WOZ decision is about a Dutch immovable property. It does not describe a dwelling across the border and it is not a reference date for that house. So do not put a WOZ amount on this line, not even if the family names a Dutch house for comparison. The value stays empty until there is a source that belongs with this object: the local deed, a local statement, or a report that concerns this house. You put the date of that source with it. The value on the date of death and the current value remain two fields. An empty field is the right state here. An estimated amount from a conversation wrongly finishes the item.

The house can have to do with tax on the spot. Which levy that is, you do not calculate with the Dutch table and not with a rate you take from another file. Note that the local levy is open and who asks that question: the notary or the person who acts on the spot. The Dutch indication on the worksheet is not an assessment on this house. Say that in a letter as well, if you mention the house. Name the address and that the local deed is missing. Do not name a value. The amounts layer in the portal stays empty or off for this item, until there is a source. Internal guesswork about the price stays an internal note in the workspace.

Ervazo lets a house abroad stand as a line in the Dutch file, with country, address and an empty value. Ervazo records and calculates as a worksheet. It does not fill in a WOZ and it does not calculate a local levy. That is not advice. It files nothing and it pays nothing. The program does not make the local deed and it does not transfer the house. The source that may fill the value comes from outside the Dutch decision. Until that source is there, the item stays open. The worksheet does not turn an empty field into an invented sale price. The question which law and which deed belong lies with the notary and with the person who works on the spot.
