Wills and inheritance under Cyprus law
Cyprus’ forced heirship regime means relatives must get a portion of a deceased’s assets

By Andreas Damianou

A will is a person’s written declaration of his/her intention regarding the way he/she wishes to dispose his/her movable and immovable property after he/she passes away. However, a person’s right to dispose his/her assets through a will is not absolute and is subject to certain restrictions under Cyprus law.

Which laws govern and regulate wills and succession in Cyprus?
Wills and Succession law in Cyprus is governed by both domestic and EU law. In relation to Cyprus law, the most significant enactments are:

a) The Wills and Succession Law, Cap. 195,
b) The Administration of Estates Law, Cap. 189,
c) The Probates (Re-Sealing) Law, Cap. 192,
Moreover, EU law is relevant and specifically Regulation (EU) 650/2012 which allows EU citizens to choose the law of the country of their nationality as the governing law of their will.
