UK Citizen in Ro. writing a will

1/11/2019 05:13 EST

Hi
I am looking for information on writing my will. I have a Romanian wife and my assets here are covered by Romanian jurisdiction (I was given the choice when getting married as to whether I wanted my assets under UK or 'local' Romanian jurisdiction)
However, I also have a share in property (family home) in the UK.
I need to find out if anyone knows a good solicitor here (I live in Tirgu Mures)
Obviously, I need to establish whether my UK property is under Romanian jurisdiction (and therefore whether my wife will be entitled to that property when I die)
Any assistance welcomed. Thanks

Hi there.
I'm in a similar position but in reverse. I'm currently living in the UK but moving to Romania next year. I have property in both countries.
I've just had the same conversation with a financial advisor from the UK. Currently because the UK and Romania are both in the EU they are both covered by a clause called the Brussels four ( I believe that's what he called it). It means that a will in one EU country covers property etc in another ( as though all the properties were based in the country where the will is Held).
However post Brexit ( if it actually happens!) then the situation will change but no one knows to what at this time.
Hope that helps a little

Amanda

Suggest you be careful about people offering consulting or contacts with lawyers as usually they only wish to enter your wallet.
