Objective
The new EU Succession Regulation (EU) No 650/2012, which aims to ameliorate and simplify international inheritance rules, is applicable since 17 August 2015. Due to various uncertainties it still provides for new challenges in cross-border estate planning.
After nearly one year of experience with the Regulation, this seminar will discuss key practical problems for cross-border estates on the basis of real cases and case-studies. Active participation of the participants will be encouraged through a workshop format.
Key topics
- First practical experience with the Regulation
- Habitual residence of the deceased: definition and doubts
- Protection of family members, reserved portion and choice of law
- The interplay of succession law with property and matrimonial property law: some intricacies
- Separate situs wills and the relation to third states
- European Certificate of Succession: a success story?
Who should attend?
Lawyers in private practice and notaries involved in succession planning, judges, tax lawyers.
