Frequently asked questions

Should I make a separate Cyprus will?

If you own assets in Cyprus, a local will usually speeds up probate and avoids conflict-of-law complications. Under the EU Succession Regulation you may also elect the law of your nationality to govern your estate.

What is forced heirship?

Cyprus law reserves a 'statutory portion' of an estate for close family. Foreign nationals can often disapply it by electing their national law, but advice is essential.
