Necessary details of the foundation
In the will there should be a detailed description of which part of the inheritance goes to which persons or bodies.
As far as the foundation is concerned, certain information is necessary for this purpose, by means of which every notary public or executor can locate and contact the foundation unmistakably and quickly, in order to reach a smooth settlement of the last will and testament.
In a testament, for this purpose it is best to include the following details of the foundation:
1. The most important thing of all is to include the full correct statutory name of the foundation, which is:
Stichting Geestelijk-Wetenschappelijk Genootschap "De Eeuw van Christus".
2. The second important piece of information is the registration number in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (In Dutch: Kamer van Koophandel) which is:
41149585
3. Thirdly, other address details can also be included, such as the present official address: Braspenningstraat 88, 1827 JW Alkmaar, the Netherlands.
4. Fourthly, it could also be mentioned that the foundation was set up on 12 September 1946. If you have already drawn up a will apportioning (part of) your inheritance to the foundation, you can compare the details in your will with the four points mentioned above. If your will does not include the exact statutory name or the registration number for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we would advise you to add these details (and then also points 3 and 4) to your will, so that no dispute can arise regarding the identity and accessibility of this 'heir' or legatee.
