Member Talk: Cross-Border Rectification Claims

Property claims - hands reaching out towards a house

Understand how forced heirship laws or other rights in different jurisdictions can override the terms of the will.

Our speakers highlight how : 

  • rectification covers both wills and trusts (dispositions by trustees) 

  • it is always important to have a close eye on the governing law for both moveable and immoveable assets 

  • English courts approach rectification of a will which wasn’t intended to be governed by English Law 

  • other jurisdictions take a more flexible view of the jurisdiction to rectify, and how Jersey is a good example of this. 

 

 

Speakers include:

  • Aidan Briggs, Barrister, New Square Chambers
  • Dr. Sarah Egan, Barrister, New Square Chambers
