The new EU Regulation on Succession harmonizes the Member States' rules of international jurisdiction and of applicable law in international succession cases (cross-border successions) and is applicable to all deaths on or after August 17th 2015. Michael Kränzle examines the regulation's new objective connecting factor, habitual residence, and compares it to previously used connecting factors. He also discusses a number of problematic cases connected to the EU regulation.
