About Nalenta
Laurens De Leeuw
Founder of Nalenta
Nalenta was founded by Laurens De Leeuw, who had been the heir of several simple Belgian estates himself and saw first-hand how fragmented, intimidating and expensive the existing help is.
Nalenta is deliberately small-scale and fully independent. Not a notary firm, not a law firm, not an insurer, no outside investors. A powerful self-service platform with clear templates, hard deadlines and a flat fee.
Nalenta only works when our deterministic triage marks your case as suitable. In case of doubt we send you to a notary, because that is the right advice, not the most lucrative.
How Nalenta works
Three clear steps, no surprises.
1. Know where you stand right away
In two minutes, you know whether you can handle the estate yourself or whether a notary is the safer call.
2. Pay once, you're set
€99 per case, 12 months of access, no subscription, no surprises. Instant access to your personal dossier.
3. Filed on time, deadlines met
Walk through each step at your own pace and file yourself with the right authority, with a clear view of what your declaration contains.
Indicative market prices
You can file the declaration yourself
For a simple estate (no real estate, modest bank balances), a notary is not legally required. You file it yourself via the federal tax authority on MyMinfin. A tax officer may guide you but cannot complete the form for you, and that is exactly where Nalenta walks you through, step by step.
Declaration via a notary
Full handling of the estate declaration, excluding any deed of acceptance or real estate deeds.
Declaration with Nalenta
One-time, no subscription. You file it yourself, guided step by step.
Indicative market range for Belgian notary offices in 2026, for the declaration only, without real estate or complex divisions. Always request a quote. Nalenta is a self-help tool, not legal advice.
Not included
Personal legal advice, representation before notary or tax office, complex international cases.
