International succession law, also known as cross-border succession law or international estate law, deals with the legal rules and procedures that apply to the transfer of a person's assets and liabilities after their death across different jurisdictions. It involves determining which country's law will govern the distribution of a person's estate and how the assets will be divided among their heirs.
International succession law is important because people often own assets in different countries or have connections to multiple countries through their personal or professional lives. Without clear rules and procedures for resolving cross-border estate issues, there can be legal disputes, conflicting laws, and delays in the administration of the estate.
International succession law is governed by a combination of international conventions, treaties, and national laws. The applicable law is typically determined by the deceased person's country of nationality or habitual residence, although this can vary depending on the specific circumstances.
To navigate international succession law, it is important to seek the advice of experienced legal professionals who are familiar with the laws and procedures in the relevant jurisdictions. They can help ensure that a person's assets are distributed according to their wishes and in compliance with the applicable laws.
