GP Jura Channel German probate lawyer and international estate planning expert Bernhard Schmeilzl, Esq., explains whether a Last Will and Testament which was set up in the USA is valid in Europe and whether its content is recognised abroad. The short answer is: Within Europe, foreign wills are usually recognised if they comply with the laws of the country where they have been drafted or the country of which the testator is a national of, see Article 27 of the EU Succession Regulation, which applies in most European countries. The full text of the regulation in English language is available here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32012R0650&from=EN
