How to get a Verklaring van Erfrecht for someone who lived and died outside of EU?
My dutch dad lived permanently in Asia, he passed away there. My mom now needs a Verklaring van Erfrecht document to get access to what is now her money from an account with ASN Bank because the account was only under his name.
The Dutch lawyers I've contacted so far say that they cannot help because he passed away outside the Netherlands, and that such a document has to come from the country he passed away in. But the bank says they only accept a Dutch/EU compliant Verklaring van Erfrecht. I hired a local lawyer in my country in Asia to make a similar document which they did not accept.
What do i do? Are there specialised lawyers that handle such international cases, if so can anyone recommend any?
Additional info: There was no inheritance will. My mom is legally the sole inheritor. There are no other complications other than the fact he lived and died outside the EU.
