Foreign element in legal regulation on succession: the experience of Regulation (EU) N° 650/2012

Globalization has affected all spheres of human life, and civil legal relations are no exception. In the light of the expansion of comprehensive ties between states, the issue of the universal character of the legal regulation of inheritance relations is growing. The conflicts of laws in this area further enhance the relevance of this study. This article aims to study and analyze Regulation (EU) N degrees 650/2012 in terms of the European Certificate of Success as a unified approach to resolving disputes caused by differences in the legal regulation of inheritance. The study found that the rejection of the accepted principle for determining particular legislation according to the criterion of a civil testator will ensure the free movement of human resources within the EU and the development of services in matters of cross-border issues. An analysis of the norms of this document showed that it can eliminate such a problem as the fragmented nature of the inherited property, which makes it almost impossible for a conflict to arise around the inherited property.
