Ioan-Luca Vlad Law Office

Are you an European Union citizen living in Romania? Or perhaps a dual national holding Romanian citizenship? Maybe you have assets in Romania? Did you know that under EU Regulation 650/2012, your estate can be dealt with under Romanian law?

The purpose of our Wills & Trusts practice is to help persons with cross-border assets, families and interests to plan ahead, so that their wishes are fully respected. We have a global view of estate law, through:

• an updated library of estate law from most jurisdictions, with explanations as to how they work in practice;

• a significant experience in estate planning for European royal families with cross-border and unusual estate structures, including trusts, fideicommissi, foundations and other legal vehicles for wealth protection;

• a network of contacts throughout the European Union and the United States, who can help coordinate the planning so that your Will is valid everywhere that you need it to be.

​

The services that we offer include:

• assessing your needs and translating them into legal language;​

• studying the legal implications of the various types of assets that you care about, in their various jurisdictions;

• drafting legal instruments and Wills proposals, in conjunction with partners abroad if needed;

• organizing the correct authentication and registration of your Will, so that it is found and trusted when needed;

• acting as your testamentary executor (for estates with assets in Romania).

​

For Trusts-related issues, we can offer the following services:

• Acting as Protector of a Trust, wherever it is located;

• Setting up a Romanian trust-like structure called fiducia;

• Comparative analysis of various trust structures offered by foreign jurisdictions to indicate the most appropriate one to use under your circumstances.

​

We look forward to working with you in detail, so that your plans for your wealth are fulfilled and your wishes for the future are respected. Contact us now!
