Court Rules on European Succession Regulation
24th Oct 2023
The European Court of Justice has made a ruling on the right of third country nationals to choose the law that applies to their succession.
Since 2015, under European Union law (Regulation No 650/2012), any person residing in a Member State has the right to elect for the law (but not taxes) of their nationality to apply to their estate. The law is known as 'Brussels IV'.
