d. Een verklaring van [erfgenaam 9] (hierna:
[erfgenaam 9]), de weduwe van [erfgenaam 8], van 19 juli 2018, getekend door [erfgenaam 9], luidende onder meer:
… The truth in short is: After the death of his parents [erfgenaam 10] was left in charge of the inheritance by [erfgenaam 3] and [erfgenaam 2] and [erfgenaam 1] to ensure that the house located in [plaats] Saba described in certificate of admeasurement [nummer], part of the estate of their late parents would be vacated by [[bewoonster]] and could be sold. All the brothers and sister said they had no money to pay for the lawyer and as [erfgenaam 10] knew [vader van appellante] he asked for his help and to await payment until the house would be sold. Ultimately it was agreed that [appellante] would help and await payment until the sale of the house. [erfgenaam 10] offered to sign a paper that [appellante] would get at least 20% of the sales price of the house. I am very sure [erfgenaam 1] signed for this too.
Nobody ever disagreed with the appointment of [appellante] as the attorney under this condition. Actually [erfgenaam 1] and brothers were kept informed of all the cases and developments. Once [erfgenaam 1] was asked by [appellante] to come to Court with one of the other brothers and they did so, but [erfgenaam 1] talked so much nonsense that she got [erfgenaam 10] quite upset. [erfgenaam 10] and I talked many times about how amazing [appellante] was helping us for many many years paying so many costs like court fees, travelling fees etc and never ever bothering us for money.
Our lawyer [appellante] did a lot of good work. I was always present and my late husband and I were and are very grateful to her for working so many years relentlessly on our behalf. She even succeeded in getting us some payment of rental monies. [erfgenaam 10] and she spoke about the fact that 20 % collection charges of the rental received should also be paid to the lawyer as all the work was done only by her. Unfortunately after [erfgenaam 8]s death [erfgenaam 1] started taking all the rental monies and she did not pay nor the lawyer nor me my correct part of these rental monies only a small part of the bailiff fees. [erfgenaam 1] even took all the papers with regard to the house and the cases and now she is telling blatant lies being very very ungrateful, but there is a God I strongly believe and justice will be done. …
[erfgenaam 10] was a very honest and decent person and I know he saw it as our moral duty to pay attorney [appellante] everything that she is owed. I agree fully with this and I disagree with his brothers and sister who are too ungrateful. (…).
