Cross-Border Estates Special Interest Group (C-BEG)
The STEP Cross-Border
Estates Group (C-BEG) was founded in 2004 at the instigation
of Richard Frimston of Russell-Cooke LLP. Its area of
reference is the domain of estate planning and the administration
of estates/successions across national borders. It focuses on
reconciling divergent inheritance rules between civil code
jurisdictions, between a civil code approach and a common law
approach and between such systems and others such as Shari'a.
This Special Interest
Group has to date focused on providing seminars on both
tax and 'civil' topics surrounding such conflicts of
law issues, touching on marriage, death, divorce or mental
incapacity and property law questions. C-BEG continues to
follow the Brussels legislation process and the passage of the
proposed Brussels III and Brussels IV Regulations.
