Jurisdiction Wizard
Select your country of residence and nationality. See exactly how forced heirship, tax rates, and governing law apply to your situation before you deploy.
Brussels IV Election
EU residents may be able to elect the law of their nationality instead of habitual residence. Use the output as a counsel-review prompt before relying on the result.
Multi-Currency Tax Reports
Claim-time FMV snapshots use configured pricing sources when available and mark partial data explicitly. Each heir gets a draft report they can take to local tax counsel.
Localized Trust Declarations
Jurisdiction-specific document drafts with bilingual sections. French réserve héréditaire, German Pflichtteil, Russian обязательная доля — all surfaced for local legal review.
Cross-Border Alerts
Warnings about CARF reporting deadlines, state-level taxes, double taxation treaties, and forced heirship violations before you deploy.
AML Screening
Address screening and manual review workflows can be used when compliance providers are configured. Unsupported chains or unavailable providers are treated as review blockers, not silent approvals.
Forced Heirship Warnings
Jurisdiction guidance flags forced-heirship risks before deployment. Treat the output as a review aid and confirm minimum-share requirements with local counsel.

Questions
Answers from the contract — not the sales deck.
By default, the law of your habitual residence applies. In the EU, Brussels IV Regulation (650/2012) allows you to elect the law of your nationality instead. For example, a Maltese citizen living in France can elect Maltese law, avoiding French forced heirship rules. HeirVault lets you make this election when creating your vault.
Each beneficiary pays taxes according to their own country of residence. HeirVault generates multi-currency tax reports (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, RUB) so each heir has documentation in their local currency. Double Tax Treaties (DTTs) between countries may provide relief from double taxation.
Forced heirship laws in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia, and Switzerland guarantee certain family members a minimum inheritance share. You can't fully avoid it, but you can plan around it: use Brussels IV to elect a different country's law, structure your vault to meet minimum requirements, or consult a lawyer about offshore trust options.
Your habitual residence determines the default governing law. If you move, you can update your vault's jurisdiction and regenerate your Trust Declaration. If you've elected Brussels IV nationality law, your election remains valid regardless of where you live.
Not necessarily. HeirVault generates localized legal-document drafts and multi-currency tax reports that help with review. For complex estates (over $500K, heirs in 3+ countries, or assets in multiple forms), we recommend consulting an international estate planning lawyer through our partner network.
