Service
The house stays in the family — settled, not merely intended.
Many families wish for the house to stay in the family — and stop at the wish, because the way there is unclear. The family solution turns the wish into an orderly handover: a child takes over, a handover during your lifetime, or a private annuity with right of residence — coordinated by us until everything is entered in the land registry.
The situation
Whether after an inheritance or in the middle of life: as soon as several people are attached to one house, three questions stand open — who takes over, what is fair, and how does it become legally sound? Left unanswered, they often lead to years of limbo or to a sale nobody truly wanted. The family solution answers them in this order: first the people, then the numbers, and only then the notarisation.
Resolving within the family is a fully fledged, priced outcome here — not a consolation prize.
The three arrangements
- A child takes over. One child takes on the house and pays out the siblings — on the basis of a value everyone recognises, with financing that holds.
- A handover during your lifetime. Ownership passes now, living stays secured — through a right of residence or a usufruct, entered in the land registry.
- A private annuity with right of residence. The family pays the purchase price as a monthly annuity, the parents keep living in the house — a solution that creates liquidity without uprooting anyone.
Which arrangement fits depends on your situation — not on a template. Often the family solution is the outcome of an heirs’ roadmap; just as often it begins during lifetime, out of a transition plan or a three-ways calculation.
First order of magnitude: staying in your home
A rough, non-binding orientation — if you sell and at the same time keep living rent-free (sale with a usufruct right).
There is no reason to hurry.
A rough estimate is enough.
For the calculated length of residence (from age 60).
Leave this empty and we will roughly estimate the living value from the property value.
Your entries stay on your device — they are not sent.
First order of magnitude
Estimated one-off payment — and you keep living rent-free
—rough order of magnitude, not a valuation
| Value of your property | |
| Value of your lifelong right of residence (approx.) | |
| Estimated one-off payment (order of magnitude) |
This is a first order of magnitude — not a valuation, not advice and not an offer. In practice, providers often pay less than this calculated value. The actual terms depend on a survey, location, condition and provider. A real assessment follows in person and does not replace legal or tax advice.
A personal assessment follows in conversation. Talk to us.
Coordinated down to the land registry
We moderate the family conversation, prepare the facts and hold the threads together: the value basis, a heads-of-agreement paper, appointments with notary and tax adviser, up to the entry in the land registry. What we do not do: we provide no case-specific legal advice (section 3 RDG) and no tax advice (section 4 StBerG). The handover deed is drafted and notarised by the notary, the tax assessment belongs to the tax adviser — we coordinate both, we do not replace them.
How we charge
The first conversation is free. We bill the family solution as a fixed fee, independent of any sale — we earn from the orderly handover, not from a sale. We state the specific amounts in the free first conversation — in writing, before any engagement; we will publish the fee table when the company is incorporated. More on the system: Fees.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the family solution work without an inheritance?
- Yes. Many families settle the handover during their lifetime — coming out of a transition plan or a three-ways calculation. That often has advantages: everyone is at the table, and the parents help shape it themselves.
- Do you replace the notary or the tax adviser?
- No. Case-specific legal advice belongs to a lawyer or the notary (section 3 RDG), the tax assessment to the tax adviser (section 4 StBerG). We prepare, moderate and coordinate — down to the land registry.
- What does the family solution cost?
- A fixed fee, independent of any sale — it is never credited against a commission. We state the specific amounts in the free first conversation, in writing and before any engagement.
