Cross-Border Inheritance and the EU Succession Regulation

The EU Succession Regulation allows choice of applicable law but must be used correctly.

Practical examples:

1. UK national applying English law
   Avoids forced heirship.
2. Failure to specify choice of law
   Spanish law applies by default.
3. Multiple residences
   Habitual residence disputes arise.
4. Conflicting wills
   Poor drafting causes invalidation.
5. Heirs in different countries
   Coordination delays inheritance.

Legal planning ensures effective use of EU rules.
