Succession Law Glossaries

We will be posting a series of glossaries directed mainly to legal advisors dealing with deceased estates with property situated in some European countries, or where those regulations apply.

The glossary lists some of the main legal terminology on the subject, translated into English from different European languages.  However, readers will be aware that the legal meaning and effect of certain translated terms will not be identical to their meaning under Common Law.

Please note that specific legal advice will be required at all times and this glossary is intended to be a guideline only.
