Our unique service is acting on behalf of our clients in handling international succession claims.

International succession claims arise when a legatee’s estate needs to be divided between heirs in different countries or when the estate is subject to the legal system of another country. These types of cases can be particularly complex because international succession law rules differ from one country to another and heirs’ rights can be enforced in different jurisdictions.

The Hague Inheritance Convention and other international legal agreements can help to settle disputes and transfer inheritance internationally. Knowledge of the laws of different countries and bilateral conventions is essential when dealing with international succession claims, as succession law may apply differently in some countries than in others.

Legal advice and expert assistance are key to the successful handling of cross-border succession cases.
