What a liquidator (vereffenaar) is in the file

A liquidator (vereffenaar) is the person who settles the estate when the statute asks for liquidation (vereffening). Liquidating here means: ordering the estate inventory, bringing the debts and the goods into view and doing the settlement that belongs with that liquidation. It is a role of its own. It does not silently equal every heir and not everyone who opens the post. In the file you note whether there is a liquidator and who that is on the document. If the document is missing, the role stays empty and you set a task. You do not fill in the name of the eldest son because he has the papers at home. A role without a source is not a role. The description in the file stays close to this task and close to the document.

Acceptance under the benefit of inventory often leads to liquidation. That is why you regularly meet the liquidator in those files. Often is not always. Do not write that every acceptance under the benefit of inventory of itself appoints a liquidator. Note the acceptance as a fact if you know it, and the liquidator as a separate line if the document names that person. How the appointment comes about, you do not work out in the file and not in a template. You keep the document on which the role stands, or you leave the role empty. The question whether liquidation is compulsory in this file, you put to the notary. You keep the answer once it stands on paper.

The tasks of the liquidator in the file are the tasks you really have, not a standard list you finish from memory. Requesting debts, leaving an estate inventory line open until there is a source, sending a letter only if it is no longer a draft. With each task put whether it comes from the liquidation or from an office appointment. A playbook date carries the label appointment and is not a statutory deadline of the liquidator. Heirs see in the portal only layers that are on. The internal weighing of whether someone has accepted under the benefit of inventory stays internal until the document is there. Staff see that weighing in the workspace. They do not publish it as a timeline fact without a source.

Ervazo can record the liquidator as a role with a person, with the source you put with it. Ervazo records and calculates as a worksheet. The worksheet appoints no one as liquidator and it does not liquidate the estate inventory. That is not advice. It files nothing and it pays nothing. The program assigns no role and it does not pay out a debt because a name has been filled in. Whether liquidation is needed after an acceptance under the benefit of inventory remains a question for the notary for as long as the document is missing. The worksheet calculates with the items that have a source. An empty role stays empty. The software does not act as liquidator and does not sign off a settlement.
