On 23 March afternoon, the Council of the Notariats of the European Union (CNUE) will hold the closing conference of the “MAPE Successions” project. This project was co-financed by the European Union and aimed to assess the application of Regulation (EU) No 650/2012 on international successions by notaries.

During the two-year long project, more than 2,100 notaries contributed and shared their experiences on a wide range of topics covered by the Regulation. All these data were analysed and discussed by a team of academics and notaries, who will present their conclusions and recommendations at the conference on 23 March in Brussels.

The conference will be organised in a hybrid format (in person or via streaming) and interpretation will be provided in French and English.

Temporary legislative provisions affecting the areas of competence of notaries, information on existing registers and a table with the instruments of Ukrainian law and their condition of validity were also provided.
