Report on Succession Regulation (EU) No 2012/650. Adaptation principle
The Regulation on Successions is considered by ELRA as one of the main instruments issued by the EU regarding private law. For this reason, the Board of ELRA proposed a more thorough investigation about the Regulation and its implications on the land register and the work of land registrars.
During 2020 the matter has been addressed on several occasions and a list of interesting topics has been produced, containing the following headlines:
- European certificate of succession (conflicts and problems)
- Acceptance of trusts
- Management if there is more than one ECS
- Applicable law
- Compulsory law (exceptions from the Regulation)
- Adaptation principle (If and how)
- Recognition of decisions
- Acceptance of foreign documents
- Authentic documents
