If you are fortunate enough to own a holiday home in another country that is part of the EU then following a recent EU Regulation you should probably review your Will. If you are among that number who have not made a Will you should certainly do so.

EU Regulation 650/2012, colloquially known as “Brussels IV” is an attempt to harmonise the laws of succession in the member states. It should mean that provided you leave an English Will your foreign property will be allowed to pass under the same terms, rather than be at the mercy of the idiosyncrasies of a foreign jurisdiction.

We have specialist lawyers who can advise on the preparation of an English Will that accords with Brussels IV and contact with specialist lawyers in other EU countries to whom we can refer you for further advice.

We urge you to make an appointment and look forward to meeting with you.
