Brexit and inheritance law
UK inheritance law for French properties remains unchanged post-Brexit
Does Brexit affect our choice of UK inheritance law for our French property?
No, it had no impact on the application of the EU Regulation. The UK did not originally ratify the regulation and was therefore always treated as a third state for the purposes of the regulation.
This means the way the regulation applies to UK nationals continued after the UK’s departure from the EU.
