The forced share (legitieme portie) as a calculation aid, not as advice

A disinherited child can claim the forced share (legitieme portie). In everyday speech that is often called 'half of the ordinary share'. Article 4:65 BW is the basis. The estate mass is the estate on the date of death, plus certain gifts, minus the debts.

Ervazo calculates that simplification when the file contains a disinherited child or a person entitled to the forced share (legitieme portie). The outcome is an amount in the file, beside what someone has already received. It is a worksheet for the conversation, not a determination of the claim.

What is not in it: the full imputation of gifts under Article 4:67 BW, a quasi-statutory division, and the question whether someone has invoked the forced share in time. Those terms belong with a notary or a lawyer, not with a tick in software.

Put gifts in the file only if you know them and can support them. A forgotten gift makes the estate mass too low. An invented gift makes it too high. Better an empty line with a task 'ask about gifts' than a round figure.

The same restraint applies to the inheritance tax indication. It uses the exemptions and brackets for 2026 of the Belastingdienst. It is not a return and not advice. A partner, a child and a third person fall into different groups. You set the group on the person involved. The software does not invent it.
