| Abstract: | With the free movement of persons within Member States of the European Union, the number of inheritances with a cross-border element increases day by day. On one hand, we can talk about the country of actual residence, on the other hand, about the home country or country of origin. One of the consequences of migration within the EU is undoubtedly inheritance, which was, due to different national laws governing hereditary law in each of the Member States, greatly hampered. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary to adopt a resolution at EU level, which would, if not in its entirety, at least greatly facilitate such obstacles, not only to the courts or other competent authorities, but also to all EU citizens. All these reasons led to the adoption of Regulation No. 650/2012 of the European Parliament and ofthe Council on jurisdiction, applicable law; recognition and enforcement of decisions and the admissibility and enforcement of authentic instruments in succession matters, and the establishment of a European Certificate of Succession, and on the basis there of, also Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 1329/2014 of 9 December 2014, which together constitute a basic document, binding in all Member States, except in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark, which harmonized the field of inheritance law and procedures related to them, and introduced the European Certificate of Succession. |
