Convention on the Conflicts of Laws

relating to the form of Testamentary Dispositions.

(Hague 1961)

This

Convention establishes common rules on the

selection of the appropriate law to determine the validity

of a testamentary disposition. The Contracting Parties,

unless they make certain specified reservations, agree to

accept the validity of the form taken by any testamentary

disposition, if its form complies with the internal law

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

of the place where it was made or,

of the country of the testator's nationality, or

the place of his domicile or habitual residence

at the time he made it or at the time of his

death or,

So far as

immovable property is concerned, the

place where it is situated.

2.

If a national law consists of a non-unified

system, the law to be applied shall be determined by the

applicable in that system; and, failing any such rules,

rules

by the law within that system that the testator had the

most real connection with (Article 1).
