[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Its purpose is to establish the status of heirs and other persons with an interest in a succession. This instrument should enable the quick, easy, and efficient settlement of cross-border successions within the European Union.<\/p>\nThe legal certainty provided by this instrument is reinforced by the communication of information on the issuance of ECSs in the Member States. It therefore appeared essential to the ARERT to work towards the proper use of ECS by making its expertise in this area available. The European Network of Registers of Last Wills (RERT) interconnects the registers of ECS in five Member States: France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and, since 12 June 2025, Italy. This initiative enables notaries to securely exchange information on the existence of a ECS in one of these countries.<\/p>\n
Les interconnexions les plus r\u00e9centes sont celles du registre belge des CSE, en juin 2024 et le registre italien des CSE en juin 2025. Dans les deux cas, les registres sont g\u00e9r\u00e9s par les notaires, respectivement la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration royale du notariat belge (FEDNOT) et le Consiglio Nazionale del Notariato (CNN). Pour r\u00e9aliser le branchement \u00e0 la plateforme RERT, les notariats ont collabor\u00e9 avec l\u2019ADSN (Activit\u00e9s et D\u00e9veloppement au Service du Notariat), qui assure le maintien du service tout au long de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. Les \u00e9quipes charg\u00e9es des services techniques au sein de FEDNOT et NOTARTEL dans le cas du notariat italien, sont parvenu \u00e0 mettre en place une interconnexion totalement automatis\u00e9e, qui r\u00e9pond aux crit\u00e8res d\u2019efficacit\u00e9 et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 num\u00e9rique. Une fois le service \u00e9tablit, les notaires peuvent ainsi, en se connectant \u00e0 leur registre national, interroger les registres des 4 autres pays et savoir, dans un d\u00e9lai d\u2019environ 48h, si un CSE a \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9 ou pas.<\/p>\n
Yet not all EU Member States have established a ECS register, and ARERT is monitoring developments in this area, to proposing interconnections, and further extend the network's coverage.<\/p>\n
With the increase of cross-border successions in Europe, the smooth circulation of ECS references is essential to protect people's rights by facilitating succession procedures. In this way, the ARERT is helping to make the benefits of the European area of freedom and legal certainty more tangible for European citizens.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
