STRENGTHENING LEGAL CERTAINTY FOR INTERNATIONAL COUPLES…
Europe today has several million international couples, often facing legal uncertainty and additional costs when they have to share their assets in the event of separation or death. At present, it can be very difficult for them to know which courts have jurisdiction and which laws apply to their situation and property. The rules are very different from one country to another and sometimes generate conflicts, which are the source of financial costs. With the adoption in 2016 of two European regulations, the EU has equipped itself with the means to bring more legal certainty to these couples.
