With cross-border successions becoming increasingly common in the context of the European Union, this timely book offers a systematic practical analysis of how cross-border successions should be treated, including examination of which courts may establish jurisdiction over succession disputes and which law governs such disputes. Studying cross-border successions in the context of estate planning and in the opening and liquidation of a succession, it examines the specificities of the European Certificate of Succession, contextualising it within its interface with the national laws and practice of EU Member States.

This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective. The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians, and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore such issues as the importance of a father’s permission to marry in relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes addressed by the expert contributors include women’s inheritance rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting, and succession in the Rota Romana’s jurisprudence.

This book turns the Regulation into an easily understandable text for all users, practitioners, academics or students and - authored by members of the experts group that formulated the Commission's draft proposal from six European countries - reflects perspectives from differing legal systems.

This paper addresses recent changes in European succession law brought about by the European Commission's "Regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions in matters of succession." One of the most important issues that this Regulation addresses is the determination of the law applicable to a given succession for nationals of one member state with habitual residence in another member state. The Regulation provides that successions for those who die in this situation are governed by the law of the state in which they had their habitual residence at death. This paper questions whether the Regulation will simplify and reduce transaction costs in cross-border successions from two perspectives: First, from the perspective of whether the Regulation will increase or decrease the application of a given state's substantive succession law, and, second, from the perspective of the effect of its choice of laws rule on property entitlements given the variation in forced inheritance rules and clawback provisions across EU member states. These issues raise important questions about whether the Regulation will bring about the simplicity its drafters seek.
