Peter criticises the disastrous abuse of the Report furnished to EU Europe on the treatment of foreign immovables in the English law of succession

September 25th 2015

Given that the Regulation n° 650/2012 has been in effect for deaths after 17th August, 2015,  it is now time to be precise about the flaws in the research done by EU_Europe into the rules of English succession to foreign immovables which appear to have been based on a directed and targeted questionnaire completed by four English solicitors.  There has been an absence of any meeting of minds on the concepts addressed.

The European Notarial groupings concerned have a great deal to answer for.

The correct interpetation is given in Peter's Linked In commentary published today.
