Our client speaks

Herman van den Eerenbeemt has been my notary for over 20 years. For the houses I live in and have lived in, always with that one important tip, and for all other private matters, a will, estate planning. Prompt, accessible, but above all down-to-earth and to the point. Everyone deserves 'their Herman'.
