With millions of Maltese persons living outside Malta, particularly in the U.S.A, Australia, Canada and the U.K., a considerable number of issues and disputes arise regarding inheritances and estates.
The majority of people prefer to decide for themselves how their assets will be disposed of when they pass away. Many times, this takes the form of a will. A Trust allows more flexibility and an ideal medium for estate planning.
Succession law and immoveable property
The rules of succession law with respect to immovable property situated in Malta and owned by Maltese emigrants are determined in accordance with the lex situs and hence, Maltese law.
