SUMMARY:US and Civil Law Estate Administrations: a Comparative Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will compare and contrast the common law (primarily as exemplified by New York law) and the civil law (primarily as exemplified by French law) approaches to the administration of decedents’ estates. The topics that will be addressed will include (1) who has title to the assets of a deceased person during the pendency of an estate or succession? (2) what is the role of a testamentary executor? (3) how is a decedent’s Will established or recognized as the decedent’s valid Will? (4) who is responsible for the liabilities of a decedent? (5) what are some major tax deadlines and considerations?\, and (5) how does one determine the law that applies to the succession or estate of a decedent? In connection with the last question\, there will be the a discussion of the major importance of the European Succession Regulation for U.S. citizens owning property or residing in Europe. \nMichael W. Galligan is a Partner in the New York City law firm of Phillips Nizer LLP\, where he practices in the field of trusts and estates\, tax and immigration\, with a special concentration in cross-border estates\, trusts and estate planning and private international law.
