Inheritance law:

The law of inheritance is basically concerned with the transfer of property, as vested in a person at his death, to another person or persons. When a person dies, his assets pass by inheritance to people qualified to inherit the deceased. The rules of the law of inheritance determine who the qualified person or persons are and it also establishes the scope of the benefits. [Inheritance law concerns mainly transfer of property, as vested in a person at his decease, to another person(s). determining the rightful heirs as well as the exact shares of each of them is determined by the rules of inheritance law.

international inheritance:

In the subject of international inheritance law, the main issue is to precisely determine the applicable law and competent jurisdiction to govern the inheritance so that the deceased’s estate will be finally divided between the inheritors.

This issue normally arises in the event where the estate is divided between different countries with different legal systems and jurisdiction, and/or in the case where the deceased has multiple nationality or has spent his last living days on foreign soil.

The goal of the international inheritance law of any system is to avoid this mayhem, and finally determine the competent law and jurisdiction. That goal is met when the declaration of inheritance is issued in a country, which determines the applicable international law to the subject by choosing different criteria. We would like to note that, in all the legal systems, determining the law governing the inheritance, is totally indifferent from the nationality or any other characteristics of the inheritors themselves.

Some countries, mostly countries that follow the civil law judicial systems, such as Egypt, in article 17 of the Egyptian civil law, and France, choose the criteria of the nationality of the deceased to determine the applicable law to the inheritance, according to the private international law of this system the applicable law will be finally determined, and the competent authorities will be appointed when in switzerland you will find that its more relative as will hugely effictive the country of the last residance for the heired read more

Best Inheritance lawyers Because-

1. We can deduct that these judicial systems believe the nationality to be the most intimate and close criteria to an individual, to an extent that it should be the criteria to determine that governs the inheritance, whereas the inheritance is a civil matter very sensitive and intimate.
2. However, some problems might arise from these criteria, mainly, the case of the dual nationality or multiplicity of nationalities, in that case, the law governing the inheritance should be determined according to the provisions of the private international law of the country to which the deceased has the most effective nationality, that means the nationality to which the deceased has the most deep connections, i.e., where his work is, where he spends most the time of the year, the country where he pays his taxes etc.
3. On the other hand, other countries, mainly countries adopting common law legal systems, such as the United States, Romania, in article 2633 of Romanian Civil Code, and Switzerland, adopt the criteria of the last known residence of the deceased to have the provisions of that country’s private international law determine the law and the competent authorities governing the inheritance.
4. Moreover, the place where the estate exists also plays an effective role in this equation, mainly, an exception regarding the real estate part of the estate, this case, or any other private international law matter that involves real estate, should imperatively be governed by the law of the real estate – sis de l’immeuble-, which is an international costume adopted by almost all the different legal systems.
5. To summarize, different criteria chosen by the various different legal systems are the deciding element in the matter of international inheritance law, however, to avoid total legal insecurity, some basic international law costumes are fixed and known by all in order to have a sense of order in a sensitive matter such as international inheritance.
