egal Terms – Force heirship
A principle in numerous foreign jurisdictions, such as France, is that a person's estate must devolve and be divided among specified relatives in specified proportions upon their demise. This devolution cannot be overridden by a will. Contrast the freedom of testation. EU regulation 650/2012, which was implemented on 17 August 2015, allows a national of an EU country to specify in their will that the law of their nationality will regulate the succession to their estate. This regulation is frequently referred to as "Brussels IV." The United Kingdom withdrew from the regulation prior to its decision to exit the European Union.
