EU Cross-Border Succession Law

Elgar European Law and Practice series

Edited by Stefania Bariatti, Professor of International Law, Ilaria Viarengo, Professor of International Law and Francesca C. Villata, Professor of International Law, University of Milan, Italy

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.
