Jacques Barrot Has Died
Vice-president of the European Commission, European home affairs commissioner Jacques Barrot holds a press conference on make the life easier for cross - border successions at European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium on 2009-10-14 Approximately 8 million Europeans live today in a Member State other than the one where they were born, and many own property in more than one EU country. When such a person dies, the potential heirs often face complications due to the intricacies of so-called cross-border successions. The proposal on successions and wills will mean that a single competent authority will apply a single law to one and the same succession, irrespective of where the property is located. Most importantly, citizens will be free to choose the law that will apply. That will be either the law of their habitual residence or the law of their nationality if they prefer to keep close links with their country of origin. by Wiktor Dabkowskiat
