Chapter V ( Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations) In brief, the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation ( EU) 2016/679 ( UK GDPR), restricts the transfer of personal data beyond the UK (and to certain ‘international organisations’). ‘ Assimilated law’ is the label applied to retained EU law that continues in force after the end of 2023.

One of the most frequently relied upon transfer mechanisms used to comply with those international transfer restrictions is commonly known as standard contractual clauses ( SCCs).

Key points A client’s domicile largely determines the law that will regulate succession to their estate. While domicile can be altered, it calls for meticulous planning and is best tackled as early as possible. Whether the client should have a single Will, separate Wills for each jurisdiction with which they are connected, or no Will at all, depends on their full circumstances. Seek guidance from qualified practitioners in every jurisdiction where the client has property or family connections. Keep arrangements under regular review, especially whenever the client’s circumstances change. Domicile Domicile is a legal status, often described as a form of personal law, that ties an individual to the legal system of a particular jurisdiction. It is distinct from residence or nationality, although those factors may assist in determining domicile. A person is commonly domiciled where they maintain a...

This note offers broad guidance on several core considerations when pursuing a family provision claim (a claim under the Inheritance ( Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 ( I( PFD) A 1975)). Your dedicated Private Client adviser can deliver bespoke guidance aligned to your individual situation. What is a family provision claim? People in England and Wales may generally distribute their estate to whomever they choose. This contrasts with many legal systems where forced heirship dictates beneficiaries, or earmarks parts of an estate, on death. Yet, this freedom of testation here is limited by statute. The Inheritance ( Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 ( I( PFD) A 1975) permits certain classes of individuals, who were financially dependant on the deceased, to pursue a claim against the estate for reasonable financial provision. Such applications are commonly described as family provision claims,...
