New EU inheritance rules now in force

A LONG-AWAITED change in European inheritance rules giving people the chance to opt for the law of the country of their nationality – and not that of France - comes into force today.

As of today, if a person dies in France having made a will in which they selected the law of their nationality to apply to their whole estate, then it will be this law – for example English or Scottish, or American – which will apply, overriding the more inflexible French rules on heirs’ reserved portions. - See more at: http://www.connexionfrance.com/EU-Inheritance-regulation-in-force-17186-view-article.html#sthash.4Xvi6rio.dpuf
