Michèle Michielsen

What is your area of expertise?
As a deputy civil law notary specializing in family law, I guide clients through important moments in their lives. Whether it concerns a cohabitation agreement, prenuptial agreement or (living) wills, I provide clear advice and practical solutions in the form of notarial deeds.

Why does this role suit you?
Family law matters are often about more than just the end product — the notarial deed. They involve capturing the wishes that come with significant life events. I combine my legal knowledge with a personal and engaged approach. I listen to what matters to clients and translate this into a notarial deed. The combination of analysing legal issues and the human aspect suits me well.

What can clients expect from you?
I listen to what matters to clients. I explain complex legal subject matter in clear and accessible language.

What's your educational background?
At Leiden University, I completed both a Bachelor's in Law and a Bachelor's in Notarial Law. I ultimately chose to pursue a Master's in Notarial Law. I then completed the professional training programme for the notarial profession in 2024, and have since been authorised to act as a substitute notary.
