Make a Will: Tax Saving for Expats

Sam Orgill of ProACT Partnership on using a Will for Tax Saving by Expats

The Cyprus changes to Succession mean Expats must make written changes to their Will to avoid forced heirship and retain financial control of their affairs on first death.

This can be done with a simple codicil or with an update Will.  Our View is that a codicil is risky: in cyprus the Will deed is stamped. A separate codicil document could be valid, but it increases the potential of being misplaced or not being consistent with the Will.

EU Brexit - Can You Trust Laws of Succession for Overseas Property?

Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership examines the impact of EU Laws on Overseas Property Assets in Euroland

In 2015 an EU directive on Laws of Succession became law in all EU countries other than those who opted out -  UK Ireland and Denmark. In the first step towards Brexit the UK choose not to give up sovereignty of its national Laws of Succession and hand them over to EU law. Once an EU directive is adopted into law the member state loses sovereignty on that aspect of law, and the 'supreme court' of justice moves to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

EU Laws of Succession

The EU law of Succession is based upon on EU traditions dating back to the Romans: the principle being assets pass to blood relatives.  This distribution  to relatives is fixed and means that trusts, charities, friends, unmarried partners, step children and children born out of wedlock can lose out. 

UK law of succession allows each person to make a Will and leave benefits to people they choose, irrespective of the blood connection, marriage.  There are rules for distribution of an estate if you die and do not leave a WIll.

This could be a great cause of concern to Expats owning Overseas Property in the EU.
