Lexys Advocaten has its main office in Rotterdam. From there, the law firm serves clients throughout the kingdom, including Curaçao and the other former Netherlands Antilles. Lexys' lawyers are specialized in real estate law. They completed their law studies and training in the Netherlands and gained practical experience in Curacao, among other places. The differences between the law in the Netherlands and in Curaçao are very small. Nevertheless, it is important that a lawyer in Curaçao is a specialist in the area of law he handles. Because even though the differences are small, those differences can have major consequences.
Civil Code of Curaçao
On October 10, 2010, there were major changes in the constitutional relations of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The former Netherlands Antilles were dissolved on that day and Curaçao became an independent country. So from that moment on, Curaçao also had to take care of its own legislation. The country of Curaçao subsequently declared a very large part of the Dutch Civil Code applicable. However, legislative changes are the order of the day. Law changes that have taken place in the Netherlands since 2010 have not been implemented in the Curaçao code. In addition, given the political or social developments in Curaçao, there have also been legislative changes that again are not found in the Dutch Civil Code.

Lexys attorneys know the differences between the Dutch and Curaçao legal codes. They know their way around and can advise their clients in detail about their rights and obligations with regard to real estate in Curaçao. This is important because a common mistake is the assumption that the Curaçao code is the same as in the Netherlands. As explained above, this is certainly not the case. However, case law from the Netherlands can also be applied in Curaçao, and vice versa. And if you want to continue litigating in Curaçao after an appeal, you will find yourself at the Supreme Court in The Hague.
