A provincial court in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has reopened a stalled inheritance division case. The dispute was previously blocked due to the inability to locate an heir residing in Belgium. The court’s ruling establishes that providing available information about the heir, such as a postal address, is sufficient to proceed. Judges have mandated the application of European Union regulations and the utilization of established cross-border notification mechanisms. This allows for formal notification of the heir within Belgium, circumventing the previous impasse. The decision aims to facilitate the resolution of the inheritance division despite challenges in locating the individual. This ruling underscores the importance of EU law in resolving international legal issues.
