EU Changes to Succession

Unmarried couples, children of second marriages, divorced partners, second marriage couples have now got to review there overseas property ownership or risk loss of assets and wealth when something changes.

Cyprus Property Force Heir-ship

Cyprus Law of Succession means that unmarried couples and children of second marriages can be disadvantaged from inheriting.  This requires revisions to your Cyprus Will for Cyprus property and investments.

1. Property Transfer Tax Saving

There is a further disadvantage to this change in Succession laws. Any Gift of property to any person who is not a blood relative must pay property transfer tax on the gift.  This includes unmarried couples, step-children of second marriages.

The Property Transfer Tax is the same rate as if the property is sold.

On a Property Value of Euro 300,000 the Transfer Tax is around Euro 5,800.

2. Probate Lawyers Can Take Fixed Fees of 10%

On death a Cyprus Probate lawyer could charge 10% of the Property Value Euro 30,000.

3. Inheritance Tax Saving up to 40%

Under New disclosure requirements Overseas Property Assets can be reported to the UK creating a potential 40% Inheritance tax bill. By wrapping the property in a Family Trust you could save 40% inheritance tax to extended family members and friends.
