We have the option. If you get married you can get married in ‘(beperkte) gemeenschap van goederen’, which means ‘what’s mine is yours’. Caveat is that anything you owned before you got married will not be taken into account.
Then there’s ‘huwelijkse voorwaarden’ which means ‘what’s mine is mine’.

Same here, but for us, it is a common misconception that this also is for when one dies. Crazy system if you ask me because totally unintuitive.

In the Netherlands, if you don’t have a will, it all goes to the spouse.
