Make a Will: Tax Saving for Expats
Sam Orgill of ProACT Partnership on using a Will for Tax Saving by Expats
The Cyprus changes to Succession mean Expats must make written changes to their Will to avoid forced heirship and retain financial control of their affairs on first death.
This can be done with a simple codicil or with an update Will. Our View is that a codicil is risky: in cyprus the Will deed is stamped. A separate codicil document could be valid, but it increases the potential of being misplaced or not being consistent with the Will.

EU Brexit - Can You Trust Laws of Succession for Overseas Property?
Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership examines the impact of EU Laws on Overseas Property Assets in Euroland
In 2015 an EU directive on Laws of Succession became law in all EU countries other than those who opted out - UK Ireland and Denmark. In the first step towards Brexit the UK choose not to give up sovereignty of its national Laws of Succession and hand them over to EU law. Once an EU directive is adopted into law the member state loses sovereignty on that aspect of law, and the 'supreme court' of justice moves to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
EU Laws of Succession
The EU law of Succession is based upon on EU traditions dating back to the Romans: the principle being assets pass to blood relatives. This distribution to relatives is fixed and means that trusts, charities, friends, unmarried partners, step children and children born out of wedlock can lose out.
UK law of succession allows each person to make a Will and leave benefits to people they choose, irrespective of the blood connection, marriage. There are rules for distribution of an estate if you die and do not leave a WIll.
This could be a great cause of concern to Expats owning Overseas Property in the EU.

EU Brexit for Expats - No Change Today Though the Love Has gone Away
Sam Orgill ProACT PArtnership Expatriate Advice on What is the Same Today
If we look back 100 years, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still existed, and a Tsar was Empire of Russia. Before 1908 you got on your horse, there were no motor cars for the masses, this modern necessity only arrived with the Ford model T introduced that year. Powered flight started in this period. Freedom of movement meant that people were no longer tied to live and work within walking distance. Much has changed over the last 100 years in security, trade, lifestyle and politics. We are still here, and better off.
The rules will change for the UK and EU whether Brexit Lite or Brexit Full emerges in the coming years. What we know today is:
1. Nothing changes today for Expats Living and Working Abroad – in the UK or in the EU.
2. UK is legally bound within the EU law, these will protect the rights of expats
3. Change is inevitable for EU Expats whatever happens.
EU Brexit for Expats: House of Cards?
Sam Orgill of ProACT Partnership considers the background and implications of EU Brexit for Expats Living and Working Abroad
The Clash wondered ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go?’ Indicating a level of indecision with narrow margins. The Jam successors Style Council replied with ‘You don’t have to sit back… you can actually try changin’ it an Walls will come tumbling down’. This was the 70’s angst of the UK as they agonisingly choose to be led into the ECC as it was then.
2016 - Fast forward to 2016 and Great Britain votes 52% to leave – an 18% swing. The EU walls come tumbling down, along with political careers, jobs and lifestyles. What went wrong with the relationship between the British and their European Cousins?
