International inheritance refers to inheritances where the deceased, the heirs, or the assets are in different countries.
International inheritances involve several jurisdictions, so they cannot be managed from a purely local point of view. It requires knowledge of international law and professionals in several jurisdictions.
At the European level, rules have been established to facilitate international inheritance through Regulation (EU) No 650/2012, known as the European Regulation on Succession.
This regulation is applicable in almost all EU countries and allows for a single law of succession to apply in cases of international inheritance.
An important point in international inheritances is the existence of a will. If there is no will, the declaration of heirs must be made in the competent country.
It should also not be forgotten that the obligation to complete the national inheritance tax and to file the inheritance tax form 720 must also be taken into account.
At Martínez Lafuente Abogados, we offer a wide range of specialized services in inheritance division procedures.
