Questions
Answers from the contract — not the sales deck.
By default, the law of your habitual residence applies. In the EU, Brussels IV Regulation (650/2012) allows you to elect the law of your nationality instead. For example, a Maltese citizen living in France can elect Maltese law, avoiding French forced heirship rules. HeirVault lets you make this election when creating your vault.
Each beneficiary pays taxes according to their own country of residence. HeirVault generates multi-currency tax reports (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, RUB) so each heir has documentation in their local currency. Double Tax Treaties (DTTs) between countries may provide relief from double taxation.
Forced heirship laws in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia, and Switzerland guarantee certain family members a minimum inheritance share. You can't fully avoid it, but you can plan around it: use Brussels IV to elect a different country's law, structure your vault to meet minimum requirements, or consult a lawyer about offshore trust options.
Your habitual residence determines the default governing law. If you move, you can update your vault's jurisdiction and regenerate your Trust Declaration. If you've elected Brussels IV nationality law, your election remains valid regardless of where you live.
Not necessarily. HeirVault generates localized legal documents and multi-currency tax reports that cover most situations. For complex estates (over $500K, heirs in 3+ countries, or assets in multiple forms), we recommend consulting an international estate planning lawyer through our partner network.
