Research Seminar

Abstract:

I will speak about my involvement in a study funded by the EU Parliament that is directed towards the objective of compiling a reliable and comprehensive information resource for practitioners concerning the evidentiary effects of authentic instruments in the 25 EU Member States that are bound by European Union Regulation 650/2012. This Study was necessary because Article 59 of the Succession Regulation requires, inter alia, that any Member State addressed shall, to the extent that such acceptance is possible within its own law and not otherwise contrary to public policy, ‘accept’ and reproduce in its own legal system the domestic evidentiary effects enjoyed by an authentic instrument in the course of a succession from any other Member State of origin.
